The Kelpie

While all water spirits cane be tricky, for the most part they are charming.

But not so the Kelpie. This spirit appears as a Gray horse, which may seem friendly at first, but this is only in order to entice the weary traveler onto its back.

Once astride, the unfortunates magically stuck and the kelpie gallops into the waters and submerging the rider until they drowns.

 Some Kelpies such as the shetland"Noggle" are more mischievous than malevolent.

  But still dangerous to humans.Even other faeries keep away from the Kelpie, and merely see it as a omen of death.
 The Kelpie is essentially is a spirit that Haunts Scottish rivers.
