Okay okay okay soooo...
Since the fairly early days of Lore & Order, I've included entities known as the Kol’ksu in my bestiary. Information about them is available on various amateur paranormal and mythology-based bestiary websites, especially on slightly dubious lists talking about things like 'different types of goblins'. However, I can't seem to find any reference to the Kol'ksu outside of these lists, which makes me extremely suspicious about whether or not they ever existed at all. Here is their description as found on 'www.mysticfiles.com':
'Many people like to think of the Kol'ksu as mermaids with attitude problems since their lovely delicate features can make them seem kindly. However, while their white irises set in dragon-like eyes and white hair do make them beautiful in a strange sense, the people who confuse these water goblins with other mythical sprites of the seas could not be more mistaken though. Kol'ksu are very carnivorous and are notorious for their abhorrence of any kind but themselves—particularly humans and even other goblins. Any human who looks upon a Kol'ksu or even unwittingly swims into Kol'ksu ruled waters will not only be killed but will also vanish without a trace from the world at large since this species of goblins leave no evidence of humans who crossed them'.
Any ideas? I'm thinking that it's possible that these creatures are actually the spawn of a roleplaying game which has been misinterpreted as actual mythology, on the grounds that the first search result that appears when I type their name into Google seems to come from the bestiary of one such game. However, I am willing to be proven wrong - as it would be great to have a creature which is literally just a 'sea goblin' and nothing else. The Kol'ksu will remain in my bestiary until I am given proof that they are not legitimate, as is the case with many of Humon's creatures - purely because I really like those creatures, and the Kol'ksu is useful as a 'cannon fodder' aquatic humanoid creature.
