海豹女

海豹女（英文：selkie，可作粵拼：seu1 ki4，又叫 seal folk），或者海豹妖，係蘇格蘭啲民間傳說入面嘅一種生物，有陣時會畀人當做仙子嘅一種。

特徵

根據傳說，一隻海豹女有兩個型態－佢本來係隻海豹，不過佢上岸除咗佢塊海豹皮就可以變成人形，而且好多時會係靚女。

Selkie 呢隻字本來係一隻蘇格蘭話名詞，意思係指海豹。

故仔

講海豹女嘅民間傳說多數係噉：有日，有隻海豹女上岸玩或者游近岸，途中有個人類男人偷走咗佢塊海豹皮，搞到隻海豹女焗住要留喺陸地上面，仲要做個男人嘅老婆^[1]。隻海豹女甚至可能會同個男人結婚生埋細路，但婚後會一路渴求想返去海入面，例如會成日用帶住渴求嘅眼神望住個海；一旦海豹女搵返佢塊海豹皮（可能係途中得到佢啲仔女幫手），就會變返隻海豹返去海度。部份嘅故仔講到，隻海豹女啲仔女事後會時不時見到有隻海豹游近岸度，好似想嚟睇佢哋噉^[2]。

有部份嘅故仔有提到男嘅海豹妖。據講男嘅海豹妖以人型態出現嗰陣好靚仔，仲會勾引人類女人，尤其鍾意勾引啲因為「老公成日出海唔喺佢身邊」等嘅原因而情感得唔到滿足嘅已婚女人^[3]。
