Kappa doesn't wear a hat, it's head is a bowl full of water. If it loses the water, it dies. Bow to it, and it bows back and is dead.
But when they go on land they wear a helmet
Yes, they do. Primarily to keep the sun from drying out the water.
They're still some serious jew turtles
pulling from my only experience with these is from Nioh - two types: the wee'uns that granted a boon at the shrine (which would bow to you), and the little fuckers that you could assail for goods, which i assumed were amassed illegally.
just checked it out - edit: the Kappa in Nioh pretty much follows what we're all saying and they have the Moe from 3-stooges jew bowl cut. the wee'uns are called Kodama and wear an upside-down bowl on their heads. No idea how much of the games legend follows traditional mythos, but, there we are.
Lawful Evil.
