The Kappa
Now I know that the word 'Kappa' for a certain generation implies fluorescent green tracksuits nay shellsuits, high tight ponytails (the Essex facelift) and oversized gold hoop earrings. I had no idea of the secret other meaning of the word 'Kappa'.
Until now. My workmate James, who has a perfectly healthy interest in all things macabre, discovered the Kappa one random Saturday. It is a mythical water based sprite which the Japanese still to this day fear. It has a taste for children and will, if you let your kids too near waterways where there may be a mirage of a hair clip, get them with its scaly webbed hands. When I say taste, I mean they suck out the children's entrails through their anus. And apparently, the only thing that tastes better to a kappa, inexplicably, is cucumber. Yes, cucumber. You would think that it would at least be some alternative form of flesh but maybe I was just giving the Japanese too much credit towards sanity.

Wow! The Kappa sounds like a Buffy episode worthy demon.
Ugh, like the freaky one that sucked out the childrens' life with those weird sucker/tentacle-y things! Ah, why are monsters that pray on children always the damnedly creepiest?
