@thewizardverse: An actual Kelpie, the water horse that kills its riders 💀 A kelpie is a shapeshifting water spirit that lives in lochs and rivers like this one 🥴 It looks like a lost, tame horse standing at the water’s edge, usually black or grey, with a mane that drips like wet river weed 🍀 Here’s how to spot one: • A horse standing alone near deep water, with no owner in sight 🐎 • A wet, weedy mane that never dries 🌊 • Hooves that look wrong, because some stories say they face backwards 🐴 The trap: climb on its back and your skin sticks to it. It then gallops into the loch and drags you under. Old stories used it to warn children away from deep, cold water. Have you ever seen one? 👇 #kelpie #harrypotter #scottishfolklore #magicalcreatures #wizardingworld
