ELKA_028 ENDEL LEPA KURGIAED / HORSE-PULLING
One characteristic is their habit of trying to pull or drag horses and cattle into water.[198][7][199] The tale from Nishikawatsu,[153][169] (§ Shimane Prefecture) was given in an abridged version as a tale from "Kawachi" village in Izumo Province by Lafcadio Hearn (1894).[44][197]
Legend or folktale exhibiting this motif is ubiquitous[8] and found from the Tōhoku region (Iwashiro Province, Rikuchū Province), Kantō region (Hitachi Province, Musashi Province, Sagami Province), Chūbu region (Echigo Province, Suruga Province, Mikawa Province, Kai Province, Shinano Province, Hida Province, Mino Province, Noto Province）, in Yamashiro Province (Kyoto), Harima Province (Hyōgo Prefecture), Chūbu region (Izumo, Nagato Province), Shikoku (Awa Province, Tosa Province), Hizen Province (Saga and Nagasaki prefectures), etc.[200]
As in the Izumo version, many versions call for the kappa to be dragged by the horse to the stable where it is most vulnerable, and it is there it is forced to submit a § Writ of apology not to misbehave.[201]
Already the Wakan sansai zue (1712) has recorded the folklore that the kawatarō makes use of his stretchable arm to draw in cattle and horses, sucking all blood from the rumps.[23][84]
