Description An amphibious yokai with a plate on its head that must always be kept moist. If it ever dries up, it will die.

You can buy this kappa as a button or sticker at my Zazzle store .

Learn more about the kappa at Yokai.com , Hyakumonogatari.com , Onmarkproductions.com , and PinkTentacle.com .

I left some of the more gruesome aspects of the kappa out of the product description for fear of scaring the children. You can read about one of those more guesome aspects of the kappa in this article: hyakumonogatari.com/2012/01/25…

Glad I could teach you about it. Be sure to check out the links in the description.

Heh, it's funny you should call it "innocent looking" since I was actually going for a balance between cute and creepy. I guess all my monsters turn out pretty cute.

I can tell you were! Makes major sense though, monsters aren't always evil looking have to grow up to be one xD great work
