Selkie
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
A Selkie was a seal-like alien from another planet that had the ability to control the weather and was able to disguise itself as a human with the use of a person's skin. Captain Jack found a Selkie that 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 Scottish legend.
