Selkies are also known as the seal folk. They are the Fae of the Sea. They are found in both Ireland and Scotland. Selkies are able to transform from seals when in the water to humans when on land as they shed their seal skin. If a Selkie woman has her skin taken she will be forced to stay with whoever takes it until it is willingly returned to her. Selkie men are often sought out by human women.
