CREATURE FEATURE
A myth with origins somewhere over the rainbow.
In the age of PC culture and empathy, one group thankfully remains fair game to shit on: the Irish.

Tall, bearded, red frock, satyr horns, cloven feet—wait, we’re thinking of the same guy, right?
This month's Creature Feature comes with a side of Horsey Sauce.
Giddy up! Introducing… the kelpie! And not the dog. Think more aquatic. Think more equine. Okay, think less seahorse. Now think more seahorse. Got it? Whatever, just keep reading.
