He looked around.

"Kappa, on occassion, might challenge a human to a form of combat. Does anyone know what that form is? Why do you think they do?"

Gold raised a hand. "It's sumo wrestling, if I'm not mistaken, sir," she said. "It's a Japanese martial art, which would figure." Kappa = native to Japan, after all. "Kappas have a unique kind of 'intelligence,' and I suppose they get a kick out of testing other people's skills, against their own. Plus, they're clever trouble-makers and they're probably aware that Sumo is something that gives them an edge over a human opponent, because of their built and strong arms." What strange, impish creatures.

"Then there is the fact that they seem to be drawn by certain aspects of human civilization, and even prize specific skills. Maybe it's their idea of a 'fair and square' win."
