Dungeon Meshi Ch14- The Kelpie, when you were a mythology kid
"That's a Kelpie."
"No, she's not, that's a kelpie, kelpies are ravenous beasts. Stop whatever you're doing, Senshi."
"Yes, they're omnivores that lure people onto their backs, drown them, and eat them."
"Senshi, no. That is exactly what a Kelpie wants someone to do so it can eat them. You will get eaten."
"Listen to the boy! When the monsterfetishistlover thinks its a bad idea, the man who reads about monsters in his free time, it's a bad idea."
"Senshi. Stop. Get off while you can. If you can. You're an idiot. Fucking stop this idiocy."
"Get that fucking shocked look off your face, Senshi, this is what kelpies do. You literally did this to yourself. Because you're an idiot."
"SENSHI. THAT'S JUST WHAT KELPIES DO. THEY'RE NOT MAGICAL WATER HORSES, THEY'RE SHAPECHANGING MONSTERS THAT TAKE ON THE FORM OF A HORSE TO LURE DRUNKEN IDIOTS ONTO THEIR BACKS. THIS IS LIKE SAYING 'I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THAT DRAGON BURNED DOWN A VILLAGE AND TOOK OUR SHEEP.' IT'S WHAT THEY DO. YOU'RE LUCKY YOUR PARTY DIDN'T CONSIDER YOUR DEATH TO BE THE JUST CONSEQUENCE OF YOUR IDIOCY, AND SAVED YOU."
#dungeon meshi#delicious in dungeon#Senshi#Anne#Kelpies#Mythology#The only kind of character who should be considering a kelpie as a reasonable mount is another water-based monster#Like if a selkie wanted to ride a kelpie then sure. I could see that working#But not a dwarf#dwarves are known for being drunken#dwarves already have trouble with water due to their density#The only way a dwarf could be more The Natural Prey of Kelpies is if they typically had Irish Brogues instead of vague scotch/norse accents#Motion that the story of the scorpion and frog be replaced by the story of Senshi and the Kelpie
