● Thick hair with the texture of seaweed that grows at a faster rate than normal.
● A purplish tint to their skin.
● Pointed ears.
● Fingernails and toenails that are thicker and dark in color.
● A taller stature. Kelpies are anywhere from a few inches to a full foot taller than they were as humans.
● The ability to change into a horse. If touched by a human while in horse form, the human will be unable to let go, enabling the kelpie to drag them around easily.
● Sharpened senses, especially underwater. The senses of sight and hearing will increase greatly, and will function at nearly-normal levels underwater.
● The ability to breathe underwater.
● Skittishness. The character will find that they are easily startled by sudden noises or movements, and may transition into horse form unwillingly when frightened.
● A need to feed on human energy. The kelpie accomplishes this by dragging a human underwater until they drown. If they go too long without feeding, they'll start to lose their self control.
● A fog form. This is an exaggerated version of their monster form that appears only during the fog and is a chance to make your monster more "horrifying" during the fog.
● A seaweed-like mane and tail (in horse form).
● The ability to drain water from their targets, effectively removing their energy as well as feeding themselves. Kelpie can do this in a few ways, either by giving them a "kiss", or by first making a cut on a part of their victim's body and then leeching the water out. The target will become shriveled up as a result.
● The ability to compel humans to come closer by making eye contact (in any form).
