Kappa

Kappa, also known as kawatarō, komahiki, or kawatora are humanoid turtle-like yokai or imps who hide out in rivers and ponds. Kappa are known to cause mischief ranging from fairly innocent acts such as looking up a woman's dress or scarring passers-by, to malevolent, like rape and drowning animals and humans.

There are a few ways of fending off a kappa. One could befriend a kappa by offering it a cucumber, which is one of their favourite meals. Because of their obsession with politeness bowing for a kappa will cause it to return the gesture, which in turn makes them spill the water on their dish like heads making the kappa unable to move. Should one refill the dish, the kappa will serve them for life. Another way to force a kappa to serve you is by pulling off one of its arms. Lastly one could force a kappa to retreat by beating it in any test of skill. They also have an aversion to iron, sesame, and ginger.
