Seahorse
ItemThe Seahorse is the war galleon under Roderick's command in Berserk. Heavily gunned and sturdily built, it serves as the floating headquarters of Guts' traveling party through the opening stretch of the Fantasia Arc and can hold its own against several enemy ships at once.
Overview
The warship known as the Seahorse answers to Roderick as its captain. For the early stretch of the Fantasia Arc it doubles as the mobile base of Guts' traveling party, carrying the group across the water.
Function
Laid out over three gun decks, the ship mounts twenty-seven cannon along each side, adds a pair of chase guns at the bow and, by all appearances, two more at the stern, for roughly fifty-eight pieces in total. Four masts carry her square rig, and her tough construction lets her fend off three vessels attacking together and still come away the winner.
