Seaking resembles a koi or goldfish, as it is a big orange colored fish with white and black markings. It also has a horn on its head, 2 big dark eyes, and pink lips with 2 small, sharp fangs.
Both Professor Oak and Ash Ketchum have owned Seaking in the past, though Ash released his only a short time after capturing it.
Juan also owns a Seaking, which was used in a Gym Battle against Ash in The Great Eight Fate. Juan's Seaking was able to block electrical attacks with Horn Drill and send them back at its opponent.
In the autumn, Seaking males can be seen performing courtship dances in riverbeds to woo females. During this season, this Pokémon's body coloration is at its most beautiful.
Seaking is very protective of its eggs. The male and female will take turns patrolling around their nest and eggs. The guarding of eggs by these Pokémon goes on for over a month.

Origin
It may just be based on a goldfish. The horn part may be based on Matsya, an avatar that the hindu god Brahma assumed, which is sometimes depicted as a fish with a horn.
Name origin
Seaking's name is simply a combination of sea and king (seeking?). Its Japanese name may be based on 小豆鱒 azukimasu, rock cod and 魔王 ma-ō, devil king. Interestingly enough, its Japanese name may also be taken to literally mean 東王 azuma-ō, East king. Furthermore, an アズマニシキ azumanishiki is a kind of goldfish.
