This awesome sketch art card of a Kappa is drawn by the very talented artist Matthew Sutton for our Creatures of Myth and Legend trading card set.





Kappa - Are legendary creatures, a type of water sprite found in Japanese folklore. In Shinto they are considered to be one of many suijin. Kappas are typically depicted as roughly humanoid in form, and about the size of a child. Their scaly, reptilian skin ranges in color from green to yellow or blue. Kappas supposedly inhabit the ponds and rivers of Japan and have various features to aid them in this environment, such as webbed hands and feet. They are sometimes said to smell like fish, and they can certainly swim like them. Their most notable feature is an indentation on the top of their head that holds water; this is regarded as the source of their power. This cavity must be full whenever a kappa is away from the water; if it spills, the kappa will be unable to move.
