Water Spirit

Water spirits are ethereal beings tied to bodies of water such as oceans, rivers, and lakes. They control tides, currents, and rain, embodying both the nurturing and destructive aspects of water. These spirits can provide life by nourishing crops or summon floods to wreak havoc. Water spirits are often depicted as tranquil or temperamental, depending on the state of the water they govern. In myths, water spirits like undines or naiads serve as protectors of water sources, representing the fluid and ever-changing nature of water.
