kelpie
Scottish water spirit
A kelpie is a shape-shifting water spirit from Scottish folklore, typically appearing as a horse that lures travelers to their doom by drowning.
The creature inhabits rivers and lochs, enticing victims to mount it before plunging into deep water.
Kelpie also names an Australian breed of sheepdog known for its intelligence and tireless work ethic with livestock: The kelpie rounded up the sheep without a single command. (Capitalized Kelpie may refer to the breed as a proper name.)
