Description
Despite being formidable predators themselves even posing a serious danger towards humans, particularly children, a Kappa’s early life is quite fragile despite it’s frivolity and cunning nature. Precocial at birth most species of kappas are completely independent and able to survive on their own immediately after hatching. Kappa females return to the rivers from which they hatched. They will lay their eggs in large mounds made of leaf litter and other organic debris. These mounds tend to be inland as to avoid the ever changing river levels and rainy season flash floods. All Kappa chicks are born with a cranial embryonic sac which houses the nourishment and vital water it needs for it’s, sometimes week long, journey to it’s river. Kappa chicks are a favorite of the Tengu and Kitsune, many of which will be picked off and never make it to their destination because so. The cranial sac will provide the energy needed to fuel their little bodies across the obstacle laden forest floor. For those who do not deplete their embryonic sacs, they can also be used as a floating device during needed swimming breaks or while building up their leg and arm muscles.
