Sea Kelpie

noun

A criminally cute marine creature formerly known as the “seahorse,” now correctly rebranded for both vibes and mythological accuracy.

Sea Kelpies drift through ocean grass like enchanted, curly-tailed commas. Tiny but loaded with ancient energy. In Scottish lore, a Kelpie is a shapeshifting water spirit (usually horse-shaped, often spooky). This one? Just the chill, adorable cousin. Think: aquatic introvert with a dad bod who does all the parenting.

Fun fact:
Male sea kelpies carry the babies. Actual kings.
Example:
"Yo, that sea kelpie looks like it's side-eyeing me. I think it's dangerous."
"You mean seahorse?"
"No. I mean sea kelpie. Respect the lore for the little pregnant dude."
