Myth of the Week 022

According to Australian-Aboriginal tribal legend, the Nargun is a fierce half-human, half-stone creature that lived in the Den of Nargun, a cave under a rock overhang behind a small waterfall in the Mitchell River National Park, Victoria, Australia. The Nargun is described as a beast that was mostly made of stone, except for its hands, arms, and breast. The fierce beast would drag unwary travelers into its den, and any weapon directed against it would be turned back against its owner.
