    Default Kappa is a mythical creature

    I just learned today that in Japanese "Kappa"(かっぱ ) is "mythical creature". So not only is Kappa his name, but it also describes him(imp = mythical creature).

    Just thought I'd share that tidbit of info.

    Kappa was never meant to be a name. The guy who teaches you about Gau's Rages just happens to be a kappa.

    You could rename the spell to "green duck". :laugh: The menu picture of the imp doesn't have a purple bill though.

    It makes sense, since there's no imps in FF6, even though they were in FF since the beggining...

    So that "green duck" (Pfff...) can really be considered mythical...

    Ah, nevermind

    I've seen the future, brother. It is murder.

    For someone who seems to have played FF6 as much as you have, you sure have missed a lot.

    Kappas don't look like ducks, sillies. It's not a bill, it's a monkey-5-O'clock-shadow. Behold.

    Yes it does Hey, if a duck was human shaped and could stand up, it would look something like that.

    MJN SEIFER, even in the regular version of the game Imp rarely worked on enemies.
