This creature loves cucumbers. It also enjoys cabbages. Little known fact: it just likes green vegetables and will eat whatever is in season.
Kappas are known to cause mischief. Those who know of their local Kappa, will offer it something to appease it (usually a cucumber) and the Kappa will leave that person alone for whatever timeframe was negotiated.
Kappas can be helpful. For a price. Offer it enough green vegetables and it will do whatever needs to be done.
A Kappa can be identified by its turtle shell, green skin, child-like body and the basin on its head which should always be filled with water (it's the source of its power).
