In addition to the Loch Ness Monster, Scotland has a long history of fanciful mythology. In Scottish folklore, what is a "selkie"?

The selkie in Scottish mythology is capable of what is known as therianthropy, or shape-shifting. According to legend, it can change from seal to human form by shedding its skin. In the Scots language, the word selkie is derived from "selch," which means grey seal.
