#wagyl

Finally pulled my finger out and finished my “box” legendaries. Clearly based around the concept of the rainbow serpent of Aboriginal myth, they both attempt to embody different aspects of the being. Those without hands shaped the world; with water, wind and grit. High above and deep below; their coursing bodies carve the land. Impassioned rains and raging torrents; mercy and wrath together. The same but different; both shepherds and wolves to fledgling man. — Ability Info — — Attack Info —

“rainbow serpent” by GaudiBuendia: http://bit.ly/2ACubWm This majestic and iridescent rainbow serpent is Wagyl, the creator-god from Aboriginal Australia.

#Wagyl One of the Dreamtime animals, the Wagyl is a snake creature and creator being. It is thus similar to but not the same as the famous Rainbow Serpents of Aboriginal myth. The Wagyl has the task of protecting the rivers, lakes, springs and all the wildlife that lives there. He is also the guardian of the land of the Noongar people. It lives as part of the earth in the form of the Darling Scarp, a low escarpment or rang running north-south to the east of the Swan Coastal Plain. It is also considered a serpent and it slithered across the land carving out rivers and paths. When he rested from all his travels his massive body weight created indents in the land which became lakes and bays. The scales that fell off became rocks and trees. The Wagyl is closely associated with the Swan and Canning Rivers around Perth and south-west Western Australia.
