===Physical Appearance===

===Powers and abilities===
* Fangs/Canine-teeth: The Kelpie has sharp teeth that can bite creatures. It prefers to bite the neck so it would be easier and quicker to drain a magical creature's abilities and form although it keeps its voice while assuming another form.
** Power Absorption: When the Kelpie bites a any creature it also absorbs their powers to shapeshift into them.
** Shape-shifting/Transformation: The Kelpie feeds so it can assume the form or shape or powers of whatever magical creatures or non-magical creature on which it feeds.

***Merman
***Unicorn
***Luong Lao Shi
***Troll
***Labette 42
***Unidentified magical creature resembling a monkey
* Super Strength: The Kelpie while in its regular form possess inhuman strength, speed, and reflexes. It is a formidable foe and strong enough to take down a dragon. This is why it is one of the most dangerous sea creatures in the magical world.
* Strategic ability: Kelpie prefers a stealthy approach when coming into contact with a powerful magical creature such as a dragon. It also finds a way to strike from the inside and make sure the target does not have a clue that it is being hunted.
