Double funny story. A while back, I saw Fire Mountain (a company that specializes in online jewelry supplies.) was offering some glass beads they described as "ducks". I took one look and realized that they were, in fact, kappas (a Japanese mythological creature sort of like a cross between a monkey and a turtle). Once they went on deep discount, I wound up buying out the whole supply (there were only about fifty or so left by that point, it looks like they never got that many in.)

Some time later, while checking them over (something I had not done since I got them and had to remove the little bubble wrap sleeves from each bead. I noticed there was some variation in appearance. Most had a wild yellow streak for the mouth, as would befit a bill (depending on the artist, a kappa's face can resemble that of a monkey, a turtle or a duck.) A few however, only had a small yellow dot in that space, and I noticed how much those in fact LOOKED like a Doozer (well, a Doozer without the helmet, boots, gloves or other construction clothing.)
