Kappa
Kappa are amphibious creatures, resembling a mix of human and turtle, known for their mischievous behavior and their affinity with water. They inhabit rivers, lakes, and other bodies of fresh water, often playing tricks on those who intrude upon their territory.

Amphibious: You can breathe both air and water. Water Dependency: You must immerse yourself in water for at least 1 hour each day. You can achieve this by spending 1 hour submerged in water or by being in contact with a significant source of water (like a river or lake) for the same duration. If you fail to do so, you suffer one level of exhaustion at the end of each day until you immerse yourself in water again. Shell Defense: You can withdraw into your shell as an action. Until you emerge, you gain a +4 bonus to AC and advantage on Strength and Constitution saving throws. While in your shell, you are prone, your speed is 0 and can't increase, you have disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws, and you can't take reactions. You can emerge from your shell as a bonus action. Kappa's Challenge: Kappa are bound by honor and must accept a formal challenge. As an action, you can challenge a creature within 30 feet of you that can see and hear you to a contest of skills (such as a contest of Strength or Dexterity). The creature must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier). On a failure, it must accept the challenge and engage with you in the contest. This effect ends if you or your target is attacked by a creature other than each other.
