Kelpies are malicious, shapechanging[1][2]
plants[1][3] or fey[4]
that are encountered in or near bodies of water[1][3][4], whether they be inland[4] or the vast ocean.[1] A kelpie has spell-like abilities to charm humanoids and motivate them to draw near water, where the kelpie proceeds to drown them.[1][4]
A kelpie's natural form is vile and wretched, consisting of a looming warhorse sheathed in decaying plant matter with water droplets falling off of it. The stench of rot and death surrounds a kelpie.[4] However, a kelpie can assume alternate forms to disguise its true nature, including the guises of a normal mount (horse or hippocampus)[1] and a human.[1][5]
It has variously been said that a human form can only be female[1] or of any gender.[5]
Kelpies can be encountered in the domains of Dementlieu,[6][7] Tepest,[8][9] and Saragoss[10]
