water spirit
Lake's mythical guardian
A water spirit is a supernatural being believed to inhabit rivers, lakes, seas, or other bodies of water.
Such creatures appear across world mythologies—mermaids, nymphs, kelpies, selkies—typically with powers over water and those who venture into it.
Water spirits may be benevolent, malevolent, or capricious: Local fishermen left offerings to appease the water spirit.
