Diary, there has been another series of strange births, these… not stillbirths, but strange.

Seaponies were born today with armor, alive, which seem merely strange at first. Some of my professors suggest it’s a mutation of kinds. A beneficial one that may herald change. Or just one that will go no further.

Of course I am wondering why this mutation has occurred and as such, I’ve asked my best doctors to observe a number of these ponies. We need to see that if whatever mutation they have that they will not be harmed by it. After all, the first births were stillborn, and this mutation may still have the possibility of endangering my subjects.
