The Kelpie is a shape shifting water spirit in Irish and Scottish legends, who most frequently appears out of water as a black horse-like creature that will drag unwary travelers down into the cold waters

Brief conversation with a kelpie

Me: did you make me slip in publix earlier??? Y: ….. Me: did you? Y: ….. Me: You're not gonna answer me are you?? Y:…. Me: You did make me slip. Fucker.

He thinks he's funny.

A certain fisherman [...] went to the same place again to fish, and he put a row of hooks on his heels in case he met the Púca again; he attached them like a horseman's spurs. When evening drew near, he made a halter of the fishing-line for the Púca. The Púca met him the second time. He himself caught the Púca, put the fishing-line over his head like a halter, and started to ride him. He drove him wherever he wanted to go, and he kept putting his heels with the hooks like spurs to the Púca's sides, so that the Púca was shedding blood from the pricks of the hooks.

"Will you take this dagger from me, sweet sister? Don't linger."

I bring on this day, another batch of ten dogs.

I’m almost through the A breeds, there’s three left, I can sense, progress.

I’ve missed three days so far in these first 20. I try and not skip too often but my main goal really is to also not burn myself out and get through them all.

DULABRAY (Dúlamán/Mudbray/Bray) & DULADALE (Dúlamán/Mudsdale/Dale) (water/grass)

A convergent evolution of MUDBRAY & MUDSDALE based on kelpies and kelp. Their shiny is based on white kelpie, red kelp, and the “red tide” of algae blooms.

Get out of the way, Micah, there’s a new #1 Baylock fan.

Will you love him like he’s your own?

I will! he can join the herd

Kroelian PONYTA & RAPIDASH (Water/Ghost)

They are based on the Kelpie, a celtic water spirit that its said to take the form of a Horse, either black or white, with its mane always dripping wet and covered in seaweeds. They live on the lochs and will invite people to mount them, only to take them into the loch and drown them for later consumption. Their manes are also based on Kelp, a type of seaweed that is actually not a plant, it belongs to a different genera. Their shiny colors are based on red seaweed and the "red tides", the common name ofte given to a phenomenon known as "Harmful algal bloom" (HAB)
