Kelpie

The Kelpie is a formidable water creature native to the great lochs and swamps of Scotland.

The creature can be described as an animated horse carcass, its lower jaw rotted away revealing a gruesome set of teeth. Its body is hairless and slimy, but for a scraggly mane drenched by the fetid waters it haunts. Rather than hooves, the Kelpie possesses large webbed claws which it uses to swim and plough through the water and mud.

Unlike the tamable Hippocampus, this malevolent water horse is known to devour unwary travellers, dragging its prey down to the watery depth and allowing the remaining entrails to float to the surface.
