Kappas feed on the blood of humans, strangling anyone unlucky enough to wade into their ponds or rivers.
One can protect themselves from, and appease a Kappa by throwing a cucumber inscribed with that person's name; however, if they can trick it into bowing, the water in its head will spill out, weakening it.
They live in shallow water, mainly in Japan.
The Kappa resembles a scale-covered monkey with webbed hands and a water-filled depression atop its head. The water in this hollow is the source of the beast's strength.
