Mythological Being of the Day: Sharur

Well, there is another story that goes before it, in which Pulunga created the first man who was good, and then the first man's son lead the people to ignore Pulunga and his rules even though he was literally living with them at the time. So it's still jerk-like, but humanity wasn't the best in the situation either.
The Adaman islands are really unusual in that they have a huge diversity of myths among them for such a small area, also unusual is that a lot of them don...

Mythological Being of the Day: Amaroq
-
Amaraoq is a wolf (or wolves) of varying size from Inuit mythology. They are figures of diverse acts, eating humans but at the same time helping them. Sometimes they act as guides and teachers, other times as vicious monsters. Usually stories have them living and hunting alone, though sometimes pups are included in the tale, being taken care of by a parent.

Mythological Being of the Day: Whiro - Too busy lately edition
-
Sorry bout the lateness! Whiro is te Maori god of darkness, the underworld, and thieves. He's pretty unusual in that there doesn't seem to be any stories of him doing anything good. His main stories involve thievery, and in one case tricking people into a basket to eat them. He was associated with the highly unusual Tautara. He was thought to be leader of a large group of demons, and was driving out of heaven and underground in battle. He and his underlings are thought to cause le...
