Hm, kind of like a Selkie.

Shadowrun is upon us.

That's nothing like a selkie. I've watched Irish films.
A selkie is a magic seal but is secretly a human woman. Sometimes the selkie will go to land, shed its skin and reveal a pretty woman. Then she frolics in the ocean, I guess. If an Irish man steals the selkie's skin while she's frolicking, then the selkie has to marry him.
Jeremiah Hughes
Literally postpartum psychosis. Fascinating.
Hudson Collins
Wait...you gotta steal the skin while they're in human form? I feel like an idiot now.
Mason Gomez
that's literally nothing like a selkie though
Carter Nguyen
Wait, I meant a Kelpie, my bad.

We've also got one of those, except in our legend it's an indigenous woman that kills her children because they're rejected by her Spanish lover so she wanders the earth looking to replace them. Funny enough she's based on Aztec legends of similar creatures, the Cihuateteo, tho she functions much like an Irish Banshee (eg her shrieks can turn a man's hair white)

The water spirits of the Danube river will appear as beautiful young women at night and try to lure men close to the river where they would drown them.
This was taken serious by authorities so unmarried men were not allowed to go to the river alone at night until the late 1700s kek

When i was in primary school there was a rumor about woman with red eyes. Basically several kilometers from my village, there was a car accident in which woman and her daughter died. It was her fault, because she didn't see a truck driving in front of her in night. People claimed that during night on that road you can encounter a woman wandering on the road and that you shouldn't stop no matter what, because she may look normal at the begining if you will see into her eyes they will appear to be completely red (cuz of blood). One guy who saw her ended in the hospital, because he was shocked so much that his heart stopped and he hit a tree.

still literally nothing alike

Translating a few from this link
mx.tuhistory.com
Black Charro - A Charro, pictured, would be our equivalent to a knight/nobility, all the buttons and adornments on the suit are suposed to be gold or silver. Legend goes about a man dressed in that garb and all in black who will show up as a charismatic figure, drinking with the men and seducing women. Any woman who agrees to ride with him will never be seen again.
Carro de las brujas - Similar legend except this is an old horse drawn carriage, all red, filled with beautiful women who will encourage men to ride with them, it's suposed to be a coven of witches.
The penant lady - An old woman hails a cab and asks the driver to take her to a church and wait for her a few minutes, she comes out all weeping and praying and asks to be taken to another one, rinse/repeat for a couple of hours until she asks to be taken home where she informs the cabbie she forgot her money and asks him to wait while she goes inside. After the man has been waiting for a while he knocks only to be told by whoever lives there the woman has been dead for years.

I'm sure my country had its share of urban legends, but I don't know any. We've got so westernized that our oral tradition pretty much died at the beginning of the 20th century. People are more focused on african revivalism than exploring our celtiberian roots. Feels surprisingly bad.
Jeremiah Thompson
The only non-regional one I can think of was Adamastor.
For everyone else, it was this supposed giant rock sea-monster golem thing living in Cape Good Hope that sunk any ships coming closer. It sounds ridiculous now, of course, but for the XV century sailor, this was uncharted land from which no one came back, but they still went anyway.

It is rumoured that when they have a master, they work well as maids, but when they are set free, they will dress flashily and swarm the shopping district.
