The Kappa is a Japanese
water demon that inhabits shallow ponds and rivers. Often said to look like a
monkey with fish scales instead of fur, it had a hollow in the top of it's head
in which it carries water.
The Kappa feeds on human blood but may be persuaded not to harm a person if it
is thrown a cucumber with that person's name carved into it. In confrontation, a
wizard should trick the Kappa into bowing - if it does so, the water in the
hollow of it's head will run out, depriving it of all it's strength.
