Κ κ Kappa is a letter in the Greek language alphabet of Earth, originating in the early period of Human history. It is used for designations in science, mapping and other fields used in space travel and communications. Many planets, planetoids, stars and star systems use a variation of this term in their name.

Kappa could also refer to:
Kappa the Imp is a character that appears in Final Fantasy VI. He acts as a tutorial for the game along with Mog, albeit specializing only in explaining Gau's unique skills. In the PlayStation version of Final Fantasy VI, this character was simply referred to by the generic name Imp during the same tutorial.
Kappa are bipedal turtles with multiple eyes and beak-like jaws that serve the Sea Spirit Zhu Hanuku.
They tend to habitate near water (or locations that used to have water) and fitting with their preferred element all Kappa are hydromancers, i.e. conjurers of Water Magic.
Kappa are obviously inspired by the Kappa of Japanese mythology, which are "water imps" that usually resemble turtles.
In game all Kappa are simply labeled "Kappa", but they vary in habitat, size, levels, skills, and drops. For easier identification in this wiki these different types are sometimes referred to by a sobriquet according to the type of Kappa Shell they drop:
Region | Kappa (Sobriquet) |
Shell Type | Level |
---|---|---|---|
Shing Jea Island | Kappa "Hatchling" | Kappa Hatchling Shell | 1 |
Kappa | Kappa Shell | 6 | |
"Elder" Kappa | Elder Kappa Shell | 10 | |
Kaineng City | "Ancient" Kappa | Ancient Kappa Shell | 20 |
Jade Sea | "Archaic" Kappa | Archaic Kappa Shell | 23 |
The sobriquets (Hatchling > Elder > Ancient > Archaic) imply that Kappas can reach great age (possibly in the hundreds or even thousands of years). Obviously their power (level) increases with their age.
