The kappa is a water demon creature in Japanese folklore.
It is typically depicted as a turtle-like creature with a monkey's face, webbed hands and feet, and a bowl-shaped depression on its head that contains its life force.
Kappa are said to inhabit freshwater bodies, such as rivers, lakes, and ponds.
They are known for their mischievous and sometimes violent behavior.
Kappa are said to be fond of cucumbers, and it is believed that bowing to a kappa will prevent it from harming you.
