Selkies (also known as silkies, selchies, and seal wives) are mythological creatures that are found in Faroese, Icelandic, Irish, and Scottish folklore. Traditional selkies can become human by taking off their sealskins and return to seal form by putting the skin back on. Stories concerning selkies are often Shapeshifting Lover romantic tragedies. Sometimes the human will not know that their lover is a selkie, and wakes to find them gone. Other times, similar to The Swan Maiden, the human will hide the selkie's skin, thus preventing them from returning to seal form. A selkie can usually only make contact with one particular human for a short amount of time — seven years, at most, and often less — before they must return to the sea. In modern Speculative Fiction, the depiction of seal and sea lion shapeshifters varies. Some are called Selkies and correspond in varying degrees to traditional folklore. Others might be called wereseals. Sometimes seal shapeshifters incorporate features inspired by werebeast, sea witch, and werewolf lore. On rare occasions, the name Selkie will be applied to something other than a seal-shifter, however, it is still normally used for something water-related. For more information, see The Other Wiki Selkie article. May overlap with Sweet Seal. Related tropes include Our Mermaids Are Different, Our Werebeasts Are Different, Animorphism, Water Is Womanly. See also Unscaled Merfolk. Not to be confused with the Webcomic Selkie, or one of the races of the Final Fantasy subseries Crystal Chronicles. Or with selfies. |

The Serpent's Shadow features a group of selkies in a cameo as benign water fey creatures. With their way of life endangered by social and technological progress, things were looking bleak for them; then Peter Scott helped ten young Selkie men acquire brides (by somehow finding ten honest, clean-hearted girls among the streetwalkers of London), as well as acting as an intermediary to build houses for the girls and ensure they're well-provided-for in mortal coin. In return, the Selkies provide Peter with concentrated magical power upon request. | |

In Song of the Dolphin Boy, Finn learns that his mother, Sylvie, was a kind of selkie who could turn into a dolphin. According to Finn's father, most selkies are seal people, but a minority are dolphin people. Sylvie mysteriously vanished when Finn was two. She was caught in a fisherman's net while in dolphin form. Her husband tried to free her, but he was too late to save her life. Because of his selkie ancestry, Finn can swim through the ocean as quickly and easily as a dolphin. | |

Changeling: The Dreaming includes selkies. As all the kiths embody various dreams, selkies are dreams of the sea. Their sealskin coat can take any form (from a belt to a leather jacket to a wetsuit), and they start to wither and die (at least, their fae side does) if they're away from the coast for too long. | |

The Mermaid's Daughter: While Kathleen is researching her family history on Inis Mór, she meets a selkie who draws her attention to the grave of three of her ancestors and tells her how she can contact the sea witches who transformed Fand into a human. He proves he's telling the truth about himself by pulling Kathleen overboard from the ferry and then turning into a seal when he hits the water. | |

The Torchwood comic Captain Jack and the Selkie features a Selkie. Here, a Selkie was a seal-like alien from another planet. It could control the weather and disguise itself as a human with a person's skin. Captain Jack Harkness found a Selkie who was the last of its kind on its dying planet. Jack took pity on the creature and took it with him to Earth. On Earth, it became part of a Scottish myth of an enchanted seal that protected its Seal Island home. | |

The Girl from the Sea centers around the romance between a selkie and a human in Nova Scotia. Keltie, the titular sea girl, wears a seal skin but with a lover's kiss can become human and live on land. She chooses to give up her sealskin willingly to Morgan so they can date, but putting it on for any reason after that forces her to return to the sea for seven years. As it later turns out, she's not the only selkie-turned-human living in town. | |

In War of the Dreaming, selkies are the chief mooks of the forces of evil. In a reverse they are humanoid seals who wear human skins in order to pass, skins they cut off human corpses. Selkies refer to the skins as "jackets," and they can be made from any species' flesh. Weirdly enough, this is also played for comedy: high-ranking selkie switch skins so often the lower ranks are perpetually confused about their identities. | |

Providence by Alan Moore spends much of its pagecount highlighting the social, cultural, and mythological context and background from which H. P. Lovecraft crafted his Cthulhu Mythos. When protagonist visits Salem, MA (here revealed to be the underlying model from which shadowed Innsmouth was conceived) he mistakes the hybrid Deep Ones returning to the sea as seals, highlighting the resemblance that story's shocking twist bears to the Selkie myth. | |

Rain of the Ghosts, set in the Caribbean, has Aycayia, who becomes a beautiful woman by removing her manatee skin. After seeing her, the protagonists look up various mermaid legends and are encouraged by the parallels to the selkie. She also has similarities to the sirens, able to hypnotize people with her beauty and singing. Unlike either, she was originally a human who was put under a curse. | |

The Star Trek: Titan novels include a Selkie character, Aili Lavena, who was a former lover of Captain William Riker. Note that "Selkie" is a term used by humans for a race which is amphibious during its breeding stage (when humans and other offworlders tend to meet them), before shifting to a fully aquatic phase. These Selkies and their home-world of Pacifica are key in the novel Star Trek: The Next Generation - Losing the Peace. | |

Selkie appear in the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game as a Neutral race capable of being either allies or enemies. They resemble seals with human-like hands and facial features, who have the ability to transform into humans. Wereseals appear in some editions as a separate type of creature: there is also a much nastier variant in the form of the "seawolf", which is essentially an amphibious werewolf with the beast form of a huge, wolf-headed seal. | |

The Enchanted Files: In Diary of a Mad Brownie / Cursed, selkies exist in the Enchanted Realm, and have the traditional selkie feature of appearing to be seals who can remove their skins to assume a human form. It's also noted that a human woman can summon a male selkie by shedding seven tears into the sea at high tide. Angus has to hide the skin of one in order to make a bargain with her so she'll take him across the Shadow Sea once her skin is returned. | |

"The Great Selkie of Sule Skerry", Child #113. A woman has her child taken away by its father, the great selkie of Sule Skerry which can transform from a seal into a human. The woman is fated to marry a gunner who will harpoon the selkie and their son. The Joan Baez song called "Silkie" on her second album in 1961 is a version of this. |

At the end of the fantasy novel Kitty and the Midnight Hour, there is a mention of a wereseal. This mention is expanded upon in Kitty's House of Horrors, where the heroine meets a wereseal. He was a normal human until he was infected with a disease by a bite from another wereseal, must transform during the full moon but can transform at other times, has a Healing Factor, and has some degree of human intelligence in the other form but is basically an animal. A short story set in the same world also includes a selkie, which seems much more like the kind typical to Shapeshifting Lover stories. | |

A selkie plays an important role in the book Meermonster (translated "Lake Monster") from the Dutch Children's book series Alfie the Werewolf (Dolfje Weerwolfje) by Paul van Loon. In the story, the protagonist finds a Selkie and sets out to return the creature to its home in Scotland. It is mentioned several times throughout the story that Selkies can turn into humans, however, this particular selkie turns out to be a special kind that eventually transforms into the Loch Ness Monster. | |

In Wishfart, selkies appear as humanoid seals who resemble regular seal pups as babies. In the episode "Baby Seal Thingy", Akiko finds a baby selkie who immediately imprints on her and thinks she's his mother. Not wanting the responsibility, Akiko wishes the selkie was big enough to look after himself and Dez's leprechaun magic makes this happen, only for the selkie to end up with an adult body, but still the brain of a baby. | |

Song of the Sea: Selkies are distinguished from normal seals by the white seal skins that they shed to transform into humans on land. Saoirse can't speak and slowly falls ill without her seal skin, which her human father hides because he doesn't want to lose her the way he lost her selkie mother. Near the end of the film, she sends all the fairies home across the sea with the titular Song of the Sea, echoing The Legend of Chekhov told by Ben. | |

Selkie is the story of a young selkie girl adopted by a human. The depiction is quite different from normal folklore, presenting selkies as a fish-like humanoid species. The story focuses on problems related to the girl's unusual needs, like her carnivorous diet and her problems fitting into normal shoes. | |

In Magic: The Gathering there are three cards with the name selkie in them. They are classified as a merfolk, are all green/blue hybrid-mana creatures, and pictured as half seal, half human. The flavour text for the card Wistful Selkie says, "Selkies call to a sea they never swam, in a tongue they never spoke, with a song they never learned." This is not just a bit of Meaningless Meaningful Words but in fact a very necessary Lampshade Hanging: the selkies' home plane has no oceans, just rivers that don't go anywhere, so these selkies are adapted to freshwater and presumably very confused. | |

The Saga of the People of Laxardal: Hrapp has turned into a draugr (a malicious undead) after his death, and has killed or scared away everyone trying to live on his farm. Hrapp's brother-in-law, Thorstein, intends to take over Hrapp's farm and travels there on a ship with all his family and belongings. As they come near their destination, they are troubled by strong winds and run aground on a rock. While they are waiting for the tide to set the ship free, an unusually large seal appears and continues to circle the ship. Its flippers are unusually long, "and everyone aboard was struck by its eyes, which were like those of a human." The weather is worsening, until the storm capsizes the ship, drowning everyone, and only one man survives to tell the tale. The suggestion is that the seal was the ghost of Hrapp, and it was him who summoned the storm so that nobody would take over his farm. | |

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles has a race called Selkie, however, unlike mythical Selkies, they are simply a humanoid race, with body paint and blue-green hair, with no apparent shapeshifting abilities. However, in their town, there is a selkie who says something along the lines of, "We Selkies came from the sea, and one day we will return there." Also, this same main town of the Selkies, Leuda, is set on an island far out at sea. | |

In Hanna Is Not a Boy's Name by Tess Stone, the character Veser is the Half-Human Hybrid of a human/selkie marriage. Kind of a Deconstruction: it seems to posit that a guy who would knowingly hold a selkie against her will is likely a Jerkass (he also abuses his son and murders his best friend), their marriage is a sham, and Veser seems to acknowledge that his mom would abandon him if given the chance. | |

The "Fae Gone Wild" episode of Lost Girl centred around selkies whose seal skins were stolen by a sleazy strip club owner. It is noted that selkies are treated as an exception to the usual rules against fae and humans interacting; in most cases fae must "claim" humans as some form of property and long-term romantic relationships are discouraged, but selkies can stay with humans for longer as they're basically human without their pelts. | |

Discussed and perhaps subverted in Outlander. A chieftain's daughter is arranged to be married but disappears at the last moment. Attempts to find her yield rumours that she fell in love with a dark-haired dark-eyed "silkie" and has gone to live with the seals. By the time the couple is located, she's happily pregnant. Interesting as it is set in Period Scotland, yet the character speculated to be a selkie is a man, for once. | |

Bad Machinery, "The Case of the Fire Inside", Sonny accidentally acquires a selkie girl's skin (Lottie stuffed it in his bag while he wasn't looking, and neither of them realized that it was a selkie skin). The selkie girl (Ellen Selkie, as she ends up being called) goes looking for her skin, and due to shenanigans, she finds herself enrolled at the same school as Sonny and Lottie. Ellen's father also comes looking for her and her sister, who turns out to be Mildred's psychotic romantic rival (for the young man who found her sealskin as a child). Unfortunately, she left her skin behind when she was very young and no longer fits into it, leaving her trapped as a human. She ends up arrested for murdering previous rivals. |

Roane Finn had his skin taken away from him, but after sleeping with her (because of fertility powers or something, various characters gain abilities after sleeping with her. Also this is Laurell K Hamilton we are talking about) he regains his skin and can transform into a seal again. | |
