Terramar

Terramar is a male Hippogriff/seapony and Silverstream's brother who appears as a supporting character in the season eight episode Surf and/or Turf.

Development
Terramar's name is derived from "terra", which is Latin for "earth", and "mar", which is Latin for "sea".

Depiction in the series
Terramar first appears greeting Twilight Sparkle and the Cutie Mark Crusaders at the Mount Aris train station, transforming from a seapony to a Hippogriff. He serves as the subject of the Crusaders' Cutie Map-given mission as well as their introductory guide to Mount Aris/Seaquestria culture, giving them tours of both locations and explaining the union between the two races. Like his sister Silverstream and fellow Hippogriffs and seaponies, Terramar wears a fragment of Queen Novo's Pearl of Transformation so that he can travel back and forth between land and sea.

After giving the Crusaders a tour of Mount Aris, he explains to them that he feels torn between his two homes because his father Sky Beak and sister Silverstream live on land while his mother Ocean Flow lives underwater. The Crusaders try to help him decide between the two, but a disagreement arises between Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo over which place is better.

Feeling more lost than ever, Terramar decides to live in a tree so that he doesn't have to be on land or in the water. Following an apology and pep talk from the Crusaders, Terramar talks with his parents, who tell him that he doesn't have to choose between either of his two homes and can keep going back and forth as he pleases. Terramar is overjoyed by this news, and he thanks the Crusaders for their help.
