The Kappa

Kappa are an amphibious yōkai demon or imp found in traditional Japanese folklore.
They are short, ugly goblins with scaled skin, webbed hands and feet, and a thick turtle shell covering their chest and back. On the top of their heads, damp hair surrounds a shallow, bowl-like depression filled with water. Kappa often pretend to be drowning children in order to lure people out into deep water, where their victim is drowned or strangled.
The kappa then eats the intestines and liver, sucking the organs out through the victim’s anus. The only thing they like better than human livers are cucumbers—they ignore anything else in favor of cucumbers.
Kappa are credited with having taught the art of bonesetting to humans.
