The kappa is a creature in Might & Magic: Heroes VI. A Core creature of the Sanctuary faction, its upgraded version is the kappa shoya.

Often jokingly described as the offspring of a toad and a turtle, Kappas are in truth minor Water Spirits linked to rivers and lakes, bound to a material shape by their alliance with the Naga priesthood. Travellers from other lands often make fun of the Kappa's appearance and demeanour, but the Naga know better and never underestimate the martial talents of these strange creatures.^OffBck

	Leap
	“Jumps like Jaguar. Fights like demon.” Orc Warriors admire the Kappa for the challenge it gives them during a battle, as it leaps from an amazing distance to deliver a devastating attack. Because the Kappa is a minor spirit enemies often underestimate its intelligence, but it knows when and where to leap in order to gain the maximum benefit of surprise. The longer the pounce, the more destructive its landing. A leaping attack, dealing normal attack damage to target increased by 5% for each square jumped. Target has to be in a direct line to the Kappa. This attack cannot be retaliated. Minimum range: 2. Maximum range: twice the Kappa's Movement (Current). Cooldown: 2 turn(s).OffBck
