Ceffyl Dŵr
A cousin of the Kelpie, the Ceffyl Dŵr is native to Wales and, just as its cousin is, is able to shapeshift. There is some regional variation - in North Wales the Ceffyl Dŵr is distinctly more malevolent, and willing to cause harm, while in South Wales the creature is more friendly, and generally nothing more then a pest. The reason for these variations is uncertain, but it s believed that certain actions by wixes in South Wales has long ago won the kindness of the Ceffyl Dŵr which live there.
Ceffyl Dŵr shapeshifting is more limited in size than Kelpies, but less in form, with Ceffyl Dŵr more than able to grow wings as they chose, or evaporate into mist. This they use a lot in their chosen homes, most usually mountain pools and waterfalls, as the ability makes their movement much easier.
Sometimes Ceffyl Dŵr have been known to kill people -by trampling those on the pathways they frequent, or by convincing someone to ride them, only to drown them, or take to the air only to turn to mist and doom the foolish rider. However like with Kelpies they can be tamed by use of a well placed Bridle, though it is much harder
