Kelpie

Description

I was planning on doing a mermaid piece and started to research Kelpie's as my mermaids companion and boy did I get shock. Kelpie's are no gentle horse like fantasy animal and certainly no mermaids companion.

The Kelipe is a shape shifter originating from Celtic folklore they are said to haunt the loch's and rivers of Scotland and Ireland. It's hide is jet black its skin feels like a seal smooth but as cold as death to the touch. They are a strong and powerful animal and are said to be breath taking but they have a fish like eye. Like I said before they are a shape shifter and have been known to take the form of a beautiful woman. They are always dripping wet with water weeds in the hair or mane.
They are said to lure men and children into the water to drown where they eat them except for the heart and liver. It does this by encouraging children to ride on its back and its skin becomes adhesive so the victims cant escape. They are known as spirits of the dead and are not benevolent creatures and certainly no companion for a mermaid.

That doesn't mean though they are not good subjects for a manipulation though
