On top of it's head, there is a depression hole thing that holds the needed water for their strength and such." The color of the creature though, Evelyn didn't know. Some said one color, and others say different. She also read that some even had hair! Bahaha! She didn't know what to believe!

Now that she thought about it... "Is there any relation with the Kappa and the Clabbert?" Clabberts kinda looked like a cross of monkey's and frogs, and had webbed hands too. Perhaps somewhere in the past they were some kind of the same creature.

"Interesting theory. Keep in mind though, the Kappa is a dark creature, a water demon. Perhaps it was created with a Clabbert and something else as inspiration."

Everyone knew that.

"They look like monkeys only covered in scales and have webbed hands. Oh, and they have a hole in their head that holds water."

In other words, the thing was ugly.

"Some do look like monkeys, and they all have that hole in their head, yes."

"Sir, as you said some Kappa breds can look like a monkey, and most usually have a shelled or hard skinned back as well as webed feet and hands. Their head is covered in hair, however the centre being bald." Finishing the boy listened to what he had said...

So they were UGLY Cheeky Human Eating Kappas

"Some do, yes."

The average Kappa resembles a monkey with webbed feet and strong limbs, and is yellowish-green or blue. Other kappas tend to resemble frogs, or can even have beaks. Their skin is usually tough and covered in scales, and they can have shells attached to their backs."

There was more, but Gold decided this should do.

"There are, yes. Thats exactly right."

"Be careful you don't say that in front of the Kappa." Truebridge advised.

The have a hollow in the top of their head that must have water in it or they lose all their power." Merlin those things sounded ugly.

"Thats right Marie." Truebridge agreed.

"Exactly right."

"Well, they have this hallow space in their heads where they carry their water to survive," Kinda thought of it that way, she never really knew, "Their appearance is often compared to a monkey's, though that instead of fur they have scales like a fish...some say that they make look like tortoises, also because of their scales showing a gradient from blue to green...and their webbed fingers, toess..." And ugh, that was definitely gross, but Kappas were surely interesting.

"Yes Annie, thats right."

Annie. Humm. Truebridge shook himself and focused on the lesson again.

"They do indeed. I'm not sure about the breath but thats something else that we can ask the Kappa." Truebridge suggested. "It is worth mentioning at this point that they are extremely well mannered, so if you are polite to them, they will be polite in return. I am sure you can imagine it does not do to offend a Kappa, particularly when many of you aren't much bigger than it is."

"Alright so there are several varieties of Kappa, the most common variety is that which simply resembles an oversized, scale-covered monkey, with the webbed hands and depression in the top of its head. The Kappa we have visiting today has a shell much like a tortoise, is scaled and of a greenish hue, with a beak and hair, though it is bald where its depression is." Truebridge described.

"So, today we will be working on a new spell, one which takes advantage of their weakness for cucumbers, but knowing their other characteristics, what other methods do you think there might be that could be used to defeat or escape from a Kappa?"

Be creative with your answers. We'll be covering three methods, but I'd like to see what you can come up with.
