	The [[Pathfinder]] version appears in the 3rd Bestiary, where it is described as a Small humanoid turtle with a literal depression on its head used to store water. It is slow on land (20ft speed), but lightning-quick in the water (Swim 40ft). They re described as puckish pranksters, who love to make mischief but are normally non-hostile - angry or evil kappas, however, can be deadly, and they have been known to eat human flesh. They are readily bribed with cucumbers and horse meat, and have a supernatural weakness in their head bowl. They are easily cowed by pointing out their impoliteness, and those willing to refill their head-bowls will earn a kappa's gratitude. They are considered to be Monstrous Humanoids with the Aquatic type.

	Kappas are strange creatures, described as resembling either a cross between a [[goblin]] (or a monkey) and a turtle, a sort of turtle-frog hybrid humanoid, an aquatic goblin, or a humanoid turtle. About the only consistent aspect of their depiction is the presence of a "bowl/dish-shaped depression" on the top of the head, which can be stylized as everything from an actual hollow divot in the skull to a bald pate surrounded by stiff hair. Kappas need to keep this depression constantly damp, or else they grow too weak to move; a traditional way of defeating them involves bowing to them, playing on their politeness and rendering them helpless when they return the gesture.

			===Soburin Kappa===
			In the setting [[Mists of Akuma]], kappa are a race of highly spiritual and traditionalistic [[beastfolk\|humanoid turtles (with a dash of frog)]]. Unlike most depictions of kappas, they have no head deformities; the whole "bowl on the head" comes from them ''literally'' balancing bowls atop their head as a traditional expression of their spirtuality. Unlike a normal turtle, a kappa's skin is a relatively thin, slimy membrane, obligating them to stay moist in order to stay healthy. These reptilian humanoids can live in excess of five centuries, and practice gerontocracy; the eldest kappa is always the leader of a clan, with the collective clan leaders coming together to form a ruling council for a kappabuchi (village).

			Although small, they are perhaps the most stubborn of Soburin’s peoples and can be as unmoving as a boulder in a stream. There is a common saying among soburi that throwing a kappa off-balance can be a sign of good fortune, though the few foolish enough to try it almost always come to regret making an enemy for life. are not entirely inflexible but once they have made up their mind it is nearly impossible to influence them—they are firm in their footing, be it argumentative or literal—and they look through a large prism that encompasses a much longer worldview than most other races know.

			Of all the soburi races, they have arguably the greatest hatred for the gaijin peoples of Ceremia and Ropaeo, since their combination of an intensely traditionalist culture and natural longevity means that there is a vast population of often-bitter veterans who were there for all two hundred years of the ocupation of Soburin.

			Most kappa still live in traditional stone villages built on and in coves and shorelines, but the changed culture of Soburin has resulted in an increasing population of urbanized kappa dwelling amongst other races.

			Mechanically, Soburin kappa have the following PC stats for [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]]:
			::Ability Score Increase: +2 Constitution
			::Size: Medium
			::Speed: 30 Feet, Swim 20 feet
			:Amphibious: You can breathe both air and water.
			::Creature of Nature: You are Proficient in both Nature and Survival.
			::Kappa Shell: Your base armor class increases by +1, but standing up from prone requires an action and your entire movement allotment for the turn.
			::Steady Feet: You have Advantage on checks made to avoid the Prone condition.
			::Vulnerability: Lightning

	In the [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia]], kappas are a relatively friendly river-dwelling species of turtle-frog girls with bald patches on their heads. Young kappas like to play with human boys, honing their sumo skills and looking for the boy that they will eventually seek to marry when they both come of age. They are extremely strong, and get stronger when wet, but drying their head makes them super-sensitive to stimulation; gently petting a kappa's head will basically leave her paralyzed with orgasms and incapable of resisting. They're also absolutely crazy for cucumbers.		In the [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia]], kappas are a relatively friendly river-dwelling species of turtle-frog girls with bald patches on their heads.

	As one of the most popular yokai in their homeland, it should be no surprise that kappa monstergirls are readily seen, even if they are not as common as, say, [[kitsune]] or [[catgirl]]s. Kappa MGs often have a turtle and/or frog basis for their appearance; green skin, webbed fingers and toes, a shell on their back, etc. They rarely have actual depressions in their skulls, and are more likelyt o have either long hair or bald patches on their head. They are usually puckish pranksters, adore cucumbers and horse meat, and are expert swimmers, as well as tending to be far stronger than their size suggests.
