Water horses are mythical creatures, originating in Celtic folklore but appearing in several beliefs worldwide. Examples include the kelpie, the each-uisge, the Ceffyl Dŵr, the nuggle and the Bäckahäst. They are sometimes classed as fey creatures, sometimes spirits, and are often viewed as a type of boogeyman.

Water horses usually dwell in land-locked bodies of water, such as lakes and lochs, though certain legends present them as sea monsters. They are often seen as harmful, frightening creatures, with several said to have a taste for human flesh. Some will lure people in to ride them, only to kill them through drowning. A few, however, are more mischievous than outright wicked.
