Kelpie

By Crusader1307

A popular Scottish Beastie, The ''Kelpie'' legend goes back many centuries. Seen mostly as horses (and sometimes in their humanoid form of a shabby looking man), they are known to live near water. If a victims comes close enough to try and mount the Kelpie (to ride), they will jump into the water and drown them. Often, they will also lay in wait. Jumping on their victim's, they will tear them to pieces and devour them. They will avoid eating the Liver. Often they have a warning cry that sounds like thunder. In some Countries, the seeing of The Kelpie is a portent of death.
