Kelpies are malevolent, amphibious fey shapechangers who lure mortals to a watery grave. These cruel predators lurk around bodies of water of any type, only slightly preferring fresh water over salt water.

Kelpies are fond of magically disguising themselves as fine steeds or attractive strangers to draw in victims, but their true appearance is that of a hideous equine with slimy, green flesh resembling aquatic plants.
