[QUOTE=Zinayzen;45319862]kappa[/QUOTE] Kappa is a pretty old japanese demon thing. Like an evil spirit which steals babies or something. Part rat part turtle.

Kill it before it lay eggs!

Question: Why are the Japanese police uniforms written in English?

It looks ancient. Like one of the first land creatures.

[QUOTE=Moustacheman;45320927]We have alligators. They're like giant salamanders but scaly and bitey.[/QUOTE] But gators (while awesome) are more closely related to birds than salamanders, they really dont have much in common. At least we have ambystomids though, which are as far as I know not found outside of North America. [editline]7th July 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=mac338;45321203]It looks ancient.

so can you get em as pets

[QUOTE=No Party Hats;45322045]so can you get em as pets[/QUOTE] They are near threatened and protected from international trade. They dont want a repeat of the Lao Newt.

If they're Japanese police, why is it written in English on their uniforms?

[QUOTE=MatheusMCardoso;45321906]It's actually a woman taking a piss on their faces. That's how you destroy kappas.[/QUOTE] source please haha

[QUOTE='[Seed Eater];45321147']Question: Why are the Japanese police uniforms written in English?[/QUOTE] roman characters are very widely recognized

Because "警察" doesn't look as intimidating as "POLICE". The salamander was just looking to go for a quick stroll to see what's new in his old neighborhood, and the cops caught him on the way back. I bet he was all, "Auh, fuckin cops, AGAIN!? I'm outta here!!" and proceeded to slink back into the nearest waterway. I'd love to have one as a pet.

looks like a melted crocodile

I really want to cuddle with it and rub my face on it and tell it how cute it is but it's such a terrible idea for so many reasons

[QUOTE=Overwatch 7;45320043][I]Pictured: A peasant fisherman defending his cowering friend from lizardmen with mullets by taking a big fat shit on them.[/I] [sp]Seriously, what's the context here[/sp][/QUOTE] The kappa is stealing the guy's soul which is contained in a ball-like thing called a shirikodama, which is located inside a person's anus.

Oh shit it's del lago

[QUOTE='[Seed Eater];45321147']Question: Why are the Japanese police uniforms written in English?[/QUOTE] Because Japanese people can read English and understand what 'Police' means also its easier for foreigners who can't read Kana to know they're police.
