Ashrays

Ashrays are also known as Water Lovers or Asrais, these creatures are both male and female. They can be found underwater as is their name says. Their bodies are very translucent, giving them the appearance that they are a sea ghost. They cannot live on land and are completely nocturnal.

 

Boobrie

 The boobrie is about a foot high, comes from Scotland and is sometimes called a waterbird or waterhorse. It has large, sharp claws which resemble human hands. This creature is dark in color, with black feathers and a large bill that reaches three feet in length beyond its body. It preys on ships transporting livestock, its favourite food.

 

Mermaids

Everybody knows that from the waist up, a mermaid is a beautiful, alluring woman and from the waist down she has the body and tail of a fish, complete with scales. A mermaid often carries a comb in one hand and glass in another so that when she stops she can look at herself in a mirror while combing her hair. While grooming herself she is likely to sing with a voice so enchanting that men cannot resist it (so guys beware). Some mermaids are kind and gentle but some are cruel. Some mermaids have been known to haunt fresh or salt water and even drink blood!

 

 

Rusalki

Rusalki are Russian beauties from the deep. These lovely female water faeries, with their long green hair, love to play water games with humans. Although they are not intentionally malicious, many humans have met their doom at the hands of a Rusalka.
