Critters to investigate further:

It was surprisingly difficult to acquire the names of various deity's pets, mounts, chariot pullers, etc.
Anyway, what I came across before I got distracted:
Odin's Ravens: Huginn and Muginn
Freyja's chariot kitties: Bygul (bee-gool) and Trjegul (tree-gool)
Freyja's boar: (YEAAAAAH <-- 'Cause I like boars. And Targs.) Hildisvíni
Thor's chariot goats: Tanngrisni ("gap-tooth") and Tanngnost ("tooth grinder"),
Also found it as Tandgneister (toothgnasher) and Tandgrisner (toothgrinder).
Helios/Apollo's chariot fire-horses: Pyrios, Aeos, Aethon, and Phlegon.
Poseidon is a bugger and didn't name his hippocampi.

"Poseidon is a bugger and didn't name his hippocampi."
No, he did, but he named them silly things like "Fluffy" and "snuggums" and was too embarrassed to tell anyone.
