water horse
Lake-dwelling shapeshifter
A water horse is a mythological creature from Celtic folklore, particularly Scottish and Irish traditions, depicted as a shape-shifting spirit inhabiting lochs and rivers.
The Scottish kelpie and the each-uiske are the best-known varieties, typically appearing as a beautiful horse that lures travelers to mount it before dragging them underwater to their deaths.
The term also appears in discussions of the Loch Ness Monster, which some connect to water horse legends.
