The Kelpie ~ Art By Reddust
Beware Of This Supernatural Creature
"Take care down by the water. There is a dangerous creature that roams the lonely lochs and rivers of Scotland. A conniving beast, it lures its unsuspecting victims to the water only to mercilessly drown them."
I am creating a coloring book for Scotfest held here in Oklahoma. I am helping setup the Kids Glean and part of activities are learning about the culture of Scotland.
The Kelpie can cry like a man or women in trouble, luring people down into the water to drawn them!

Can it survive outside the water? Looks too dangerous. But I love the name you have given to it.
They are shape shifters taking the form that is most attractive to their victims. I think their original shape is that of a horse. Some historians argue that a kelpies are not aquatic but all the myths I've read is this mythical beast resides in water. It also has control over the weather, if you piss one off it can call in a storm and flood your village. It kind of reminds me of the Asian Naga, which looks like a snake but can take the form of a human. Both supernatural beings are easy to anger and vindictive in nature with supernatural powers. Although the Nagas can be wonderful beings, protecting the Teachings of The Buddha and protected the Buddha when he meditated under the Bodhi Tree. The kelpie comes from the fairy worlds in Scottish mythology
We Indian are very familiar to the tales of the Nagas. Even we have a festival for them, it is called "Naagpanchmi" on this day it brings good fortune to see the snakes and feed them milk.

@reddust, It's amazing arty work using talented skills. I've never seen these creature. Is it fiction I think.
The Kelpie is part of Scottish mythology, probably a teaching story to help children understand how dangerous the water is and take care not to wander to far from their home on their own.
Aww! To be so conniving he is quite a beauty. Looks like a cross between a unicorn and a mermaid. lol! I am a pisces, so naturally I loved the images of the dual fishes. Great idea for coloring books. You could tell your story in one coloring book.
This looks like a Capricorn as well, I will be telling a little story in the book to help children understand Scottish mythology! Thank you @Innerstellar
Very true! That is a very awesome and thoughtful idea.
always I talk you, you are absolutely amazing your draw are so good you are so talent ♥
Thank you @denissemata
I love your fabulous talent and drawing work @reddust. You every time created meaningful arts. What's meaning here?
Thank you @kingsberry
I've seen mythology animals from Greece historical stories. Haven't found Scotland stories yet. Anyways amazing drawing work @reddust.
Every old culture has myths of mythical creatures, they are teaching stories or maybe they are real. I have never met a mythical being. I'd probably pee my pants in fear if I saw one.
