I hope you guys don’t mind if I go off on a tangent here for a second. 

For anyone who doesn’t know about Slippy the magical wonder horse, you probably should. Sleipnir (roughly translated to “Slippy” or “the slipper”) is a mythical eight-legged horse who serves as Odin’s faithful mount in Norse mythology. But how did Sleipnir come to be, you ask? What is his origin story? Well sit your asses down, dear readers, and I will tell you.
As the story goes, some guy and his horse were commissioned to build a wall around Valhalla, except the gods didn’t want to pay him for it. In response to this issue, Loki decided it was a good idea to turn INTO A HORSE and seduce the guy’s workhorse in order to prevent him from finishing the wall in time. After running around and doing horse things all night, Loki - as a FEMALE HORSE, mind you - became pregnant and gave birth to a gray horse foal, who just so happened to have eight legs for some reason. 
So here we have Slippy the horse, who is described as “the best of all horses” due to the fact that he has eight legs and can run SUPER FAST. Because, you know, the more legs the better. I just want to clarify that this is all canon in Norse mythology, by the way. You can read about it in the wikipedia article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleipnir. So know that this is real, and I am not making it up.

Loki’s son, Slippy.
Slippy the horse.
Slippy the F**KING HORSE. 

Anyway, thank you for reading this important public service announcement. In appreciation, I have provided you with an animated depiction of what Slippy might look like while running. This majestic creature wears an expression marked by blind jubilation, as I imagine it is the only emotion Slippy knows.
