A beast from Scottish Legend, the Kelpie is a water spirit that looks like a horse, but can adopt the form of a human male, in order to trick women into eloping with them, only to drag them into the depths of their lair and devour them.

The story of the Kelpie and the Maiden follows a young girl who unknowingly falls in love with a Kelpie in human form. When the Kelpie reveals its true form and tries to drag the maiden into the loch, the maiden manages to launch herself from the Kelpie's back just as it dives into the water, before gliding over the loch to safety. The Kelpie had never seen this happen before, diving back out of the water and starts to chase the maiden. The maiden shouts back to the Kelpie to stop, because she didn't want to hurt him.

From there, the chase turns more into a dance, as the Kelpie once more returns to human form, and they spend the night together, getting to know each other. The maiden then returns to her castle, only for the Kelpie to follow her, hoping to ask for her hand in marriage.

The coaster tries to retell this story through it's duelling aspect, with "The Maiden" following the Kelpie to the water, only to glide over it instead while "The Kelpie" dives. The Kelpie then proceeds to chase the Maiden into a series of turns known as "The Dance", before following her back to the castle.
