There are a bunch of various mythological creatures you could use in a story to make it scary that are virtually unknown anywhere outside of their home culture, and Im talking about Scottish creatures for example. And...? It sounds like the OP has an interest in kelpies. Seconding this. Obscure mythical creatures can be fun (like my poorly written draft on tsukurogami that I have definitely been working on and haven’t forgotten about), but you should really write about what interests you. And if that’s kelpies, go for it. Heck, Mermaids Are Starving uses a pretty well-known mythical creature (siren), but still pulls it off decently well.
