Dragons of Fame

Amhuluk

History: Amhuluk is said to leave near Forkend Mountain in Oregon, where the Native Americans saw this creature with great fear. One story accounts how Amhuluk impaled two of three children on its horns and took them into the enchanted waters that it was named after. The father visited these children, and for five days they appeared by the water. However, afterward, they disappeared and remained with Amhuluk. Many believe that this dragon's passion is to catch and drown all things; which is perhaps true.¹

This serpent is said to go through transformations as well, each time becoming more and more formidable.

Symbolism: Some claim Amhuluk to be a bit of a bogey - sometime to scare off children from the water. However, others see this creature as a symbol of a thief.

Physical Description: This is a giant sea serpent creature with grand horns.
