Bunyip

Found in Austiceia, A frightening monster described in Aboriginal legends about a Penguin who broke the Rainbow Serpent's greatest law by eating his totem animals. Banished by the good spirit Biami, Bunyip became an evil spirit that lures tribesmen and livestock into the waterways, where he eats them. Some say it has the body of a calf or a seal, the head of a dog, and long fangs and sharp teeth, including a clubbed tail. Others report a long-necked creature with feathers and a sharp, bird-like beak. In Aboriginal bedtime stories, the Bunyip is described as a river monster who will gobble up chicks who get too near towards a lake or river.
