Any story of aquatic therianthropy (beings who can change from their creature form into a human) is a story I love, and the Celtic tales of the selkie are no different. Unlike many other cases of therianthropy (such as kelpies, kitsune, werewolves), selkies are told to have had a skin of their seal form that remains when they are human, and cannot change back without it. This of course has led to the creation of stories where a human has kept the skin as means to make the selkie wed the human, or be flipped to stories where a selkie tested the love of a human by leaving the skin out to see if the human would take it to "own" the selkie forever. Kelpies (the water horse therianthropes), are generally portrayed as male, and sirens as female- but the selkie has been depicted as either male or female.
