In Celtic mythology and British mythology, the Asrai are freshwater fairies who try to keep away from human beings. In Old British folklore, there are a lot of mythical creatures, such as the Asrai. This creature from England, mainly the Cheshire and Shropshire region, is unique in that it can transform itself into water and become truly formless. Unlike other aquatic creatures, the Asrai can also blend seamlessly into its surroundings.
In one story, a fisherman was able to catch and bind an Asrai on his boat but could not communicate with it as the Asrai spoke a strange language. The creature then touched him, causing his hands burn and feel as if it was on fire despite the creature’s cold and wet hands. Before the fisherman could reach the shore, the Asrai died, and it melted into a puddle of water due to the exposure to sunlight. The fisherman who caught it had no proof of the creature’s existence, save for a burn mark on his arm.
