Kelpies are shapeshifting water spirits who lure people into lakes & drown them. The Scottish folktale "The Kelpie & the Ten Children" is a cautionary tale of children lured onto a beautiful horse's back, only for the horse to jump into a lake.

Tysm for the tag & for hosting! I've been doing a mix of doing studies, commission work, taking a break & stepping out of my comfort zone to try new things! It's been fulfilling so far! How's your week been?

Btw, I love unicorns. Orthrus, nekomata & kelpies are awesome too. :D

"Dead Remnants" - yeah, I'd totally dig wandering a ghostworld.

New WIP? No. Well, it'd be cool to see creatures like kelpies and cu siths (giant green dogs), but the flip side is Nuckelavee stomping your face.

Also, the king's an ass and would likely order me executed, so...
