Kelpie

In moonlit waters where shadows dance, the Kelpie weaves its aquatic enchantment, an otherworldly equine form beckoning with both allure and danger. Beware the beauty that emerges from the depths, for beneath the guise of a magnificent steed lies the treacherous heart of a creature that preys upon the curiosity of mortals. Venture not too close to the mirrored surface, or risk becoming entangled in the siren song of the Feywild's most deceptive guardian.

Basic Information

Ecology and Habitats

The Kelpie, a deceptive and mystical water creature, dwells in the shadowy depths of secluded lakes, meandering rivers, and mist-shrouded marshes. Often appearing as an enchanting equine form, the Kelpie's favored habitats are those marked by serene waters and lush aquatic vegetation. Its elusive nature leads it to seek out locations where the boundary between the material realm and the Feywild is thin, allowing it to seamlessly blend the magic of both realms in its aquatic abode.

Behaviour

Known for its beguiling beauty and cunning demeanor, the Kelpie is a master of luring unsuspecting travelers into its watery lair. Assuming the guise of a magnificent horse, the creature entices those who approach, inviting them to mount for a ride. Once a victim is astride its back, the Kelpie reveals its true nature, diving beneath the water's surface to drown and devour its prey. Despite its malevolent tendencies, the Kelpie possesses an innate intelligence, using illusions and mimicry to outwit those who venture too close to its aquatic realm.
