that my point ... even though the name puck refers to willo, it isn't
it is berserk
thus a kelpie of berserk isnt a kelpie from legends ...

you know according to many legends, Puck ( will-o-the-wisp ) are very bad intentioned ; the pooka ( same origin ... ) in ireland is very mean : /

Well, "Puck" is the _name_ of a character, not the creature he is (an Elf or fairy in Berserk), while a "kelpie" is a specific creature, you know.
So, even if Miura adapted his own kelpie (which he did, I don't think kelpies were ever mentioned having a frog/toad-like mane), he kept the fact that it's _not_ a "good creature". Just ask Serpico...
Also, check this: "Puck can also be benevolent however. He is often described as a friend of the poor, oppressed and lovers and as such associated with the Robins Hood and Goodfellow."
So it's not as obvious, as it is with the kelpie.

that my point ... even though the name puck refers to willo, it isn't

But I _was_ talking about the "mythical" kelpie, not Miura's version...
Namayias seemed like he wanted to know what kind of "mythical" creature a kelpie is.
Read his quote again:

I don't know much about some mythical creatures, but I seemed to get the impression the kelpie was sort of a good creature.
But I may be wrong.

Huh ? ^^;
Well, that was kind of an argumentation of yours... -__-;

I was just being logical here, explaining my point as it seems you misunderstood it at first. I'm sorry if it hurt you, there was absolutely no offense meant.
Nevertheless, I think I'm open-minded enough to accept any justified criticism. But, this last one of yours wasn't really fair or justified... -_-

He's a Pisky.

He's a Pisky.

he calls himself a fairy in my translation, and as a fantasy fan, "pisky" is a foreign word to me .... did u mean pixie? .... if not, where does the origin of the "pisky" originate? .... ???

I can't remember which volume this was, but when Puck was describing Elfhelm he imagined himself stealing from a wizard and the wizard trying to swat him. So maybe he is still a trickster, but not that bad. Also when farneze couldn't see him he kept messing with her so she would think it was Gattsu.

yep, thats pretty much what I was looking for.

 

[Olivier_Hague]

He's referred to as a "Yôsei" (which is a generic word for creatures like elves, gnomes, trolls, leprechauns, etc), an "Elf", and a "Pisky". "Pisky" appears to be the most precise definition of what he is exactly.

as a fantasy fan, "pisky" is a foreign word to me .... did u mean pixie? ....

Same thing. There are different variations of the word, and in "Berserk", Miura used "Pisky".

It's spelled hagued (from Olivier Hagué), Kimchan already brough this to your attention.
