Is there a particular story title or traditional tale about the creature?
kappa is a mischievous supernatural creature that’s said to live in Japanese waters. Many different versions of the kappa myth exist all over Japan, but no specific tales are widely known. It’s often depicted as having a green, scaly body with webbed hands and feet, a turtle shell on the back, a beak-like mouth, cropped hair, and a dent on the top of the head that holds water.
