Sleipnir

The registry held three of Loki's four children — Fenrir, Jörmungandr and Hel — and not the fourth, who is a horse, because Loki turned himself into a mare to distract a stallion and came back pregnant. He is recorded as a figure on the same footing as his siblings and for the same reason: the sources treat him as a person with a parent, not as an animal with an owner.
