Cobalt Cloudhunter

Cobalt Cloudhunter was a male, blue Hippogriff. A gentleman by nature, Cobalt was kind, polite, selfless, loyal, proud and suave. He was a member of Skipper's crew, a group of adventures who had a catrostrophic journey in Abyssinia. He saved Skipper Sails many times in their adventures, during their confrontation with Rosella's crew, he prepared a lifeboat while in the air for his friends, but his cat friend, Whiskers couldn't make the jump towards it. Cobalt saved his friend as he saved Skipper earlier. However, their escape didn't pan out and they were soon captured. Cobalt threatened to take on the entire crew by himself, but Skipper opted for a more diplomatic solution. However, the diplomacy was cut short when both crews were confronted by Oncoming Storm.

Behind the scenes
Cobalt was created by Zak Barouh for the story "Open Sky", the opening story for Tails of Equestria: The Official Movie Sourcebook. Out of all the members of Skipper's crew, he was the only one given artwork, appearing as a blue Hippogriff with a purple mane and feathers.

A character named Stratus Skyranger appeared in, baring an uncanny resemblance to Cobalt.
