Dongu:

Legendary spirits or creatures from Australian aboriginal folklore, also known as Yaa-loo, Bunyip, Kine Pratie, Wowee-wowee, and many other indigenous names.
A variedly described monster, Dongu/Bunyips are known for causing nocturnal terror by uttering horrible roaring cries and jumping out of water holes, rivers and creeks to attack and devour unwary animals and people that came to these places for a drink of water.
Even though throughout the years many white settlers have reported to seen Dongu/Bunyips, today most Australians consider the creature to be just an aboriginal myth.
According to folklore, these water creatures were involved in the great deluge.
A group of men supposedly caught and imprisoned a small Dongu/Bunyip, making its mother so angry she flooded the land until it covered everything.
The humans that managed to escape were turned into black swans.
