Kappa - The Strange Yokai of Japan's Lakes and Rivers

The legend of the Kappa, from Japanese folklore, is about an aquatic creature, similar to a mix of human and turtle. Known for being mischievous and sometimes dangerous, the Kappa inhabits rivers and lakes, and can challenge humans to sumo wrestling or play pranks. It has a cavity in its head that holds water, the source of its strength. The legend teaches respect for nature and caution about the dangers of water.

The ninja turtles get mistaken for kappa by a few characters living in feudal Japan

I like how their arms are connected, if you pulled the one arm the other would get shorter, since it wasn't in the video I felt I should share it.
