The pooka is a bog dweller that tricks unwary travelers by changing himself into a friendly horse and inviting them to get on for a ride . If they do mount the phantom horse, they may not escape with their lives. If the pooka is in a good mood, it might throw you on land. If the pooka has a temper, he will most likely throw you in a bog to drown.
Hippocampi
The hippocampi are Greek creatures that are half stalion, half fish. In some stories,they pull Posidean's (the Greek sea god) chairoit. Other times they change their appearence all together, the top half of their body is still a horse but the lower half is a sea horse instead of a fish.
Merpeople are aquatic creatures, from the waist up they are human and from the waist down thay are fish (which species of fish depends on where they come from.) There are three different kinds of merpeople; eastern, southern and northern.
Eastern merpeople have bamboo like skin that is bumby but soft. They have black horse hair and Asian features. Eastern merpeople have the tail of a coy fish.
Southern merpeople are the most colorful species of merpeople. They have orange skin and vivid blue eyes. Instead of hair they have green anenome-like tentacles on their heads. Southern merpeople have the tail of a Fairy Basslet.
Northern merpeople have a thick layer of fat and the tail of a salmon . They have light blue skin, grey eyes and green seaweed heir. Northern merpeople are the only species of merpeople that have gills.
Merpeople live like whales (with the exception of northern merpeople who live in much deeper waters). The difference between sexes is the same as in humans. Unfourtunately these beautiful creatures are classified as a endangered species by the A.M.B (the association for mythical beasts) due to polluted waters.
The kelpie is a highly dangerous creature that appears in the form of a black horse. It will lure unsupectting victims onto it's back for a ride, then jump back into the lake or river it came from to devour them. When jumping back in to the water with it's victim, kelpies will change their shape, but to what we do not know. There is a myth that says that if you are able to bridle a kelpie it will do your biding, though this is untrue.
