Karora

Appearance
A creation creature from Aboriginal myth.

Legend
Karora was born from the depths of the ocean, but in some tales they say that he emerged from inside the Earth. At one point in time he gave birth to many bandicoots from his armpits. The bandicoots dug their way up to the Earth's surface around the same time the sun rose for the first time. However, Karora's son lived on the Earth. Out of hunger, he ended up eating the bandicoots. As Karora kept creating bandicoots, his son kept consuming them. At last, Karora decided to take action. He approached his son and led him to a nearby water hole. His son was waiting on the edge of the hole when a giant wave of nectar from the honey suckle buds swept him away and drowned him. Karora returned to the bottom of the water hole and went to sleep. This same water hole is now named after Karora.
