Kappa(?) and Where to Find Them

Kappa are aquatic reptilian humanoids who inhabit the rivers and streams found all over Japan. They love to live solitary lives, although it is common for them to befriend other Yokai and even humans.

Kappa are proud and stubborn, but also fiercely honorable. They never break any promises that they make.

Kappa are usually seen as mischievous troublemakers or trickster figures. Their pranks range from the relatively innocent, such as loudly passing gas or looking up women's kimonos, to the malevolent, such as drowning people and animals, and kidnapping children.
