Creature #4: Undine
Undine
In European magical lore, an Undine is an elemental spirit of the water. The name was first used by the Swiss metaphysican Paracelsus in the early 16th century, derived from Latin undas ('wave'). Undines are invoked in magical working requiring the cooperation of the waters. The leader of the undines is called Necksa.

Creature #3: Hakulaq
Hakulaq
Among the Tsimshian Indians of the northwest coast of the North America, Hakulaq is female sea monster with a unique method of taking her prey. She causes her child to float near to the shore, making the cries of a human baby that is lost. When people come to rescue it by bringing it ashore, Hakulaq rushes after them, accusing them of stealing her child. With her huge body, she then creates huge stormy waves which overwhelm the rescuers and drown them.
