Garkain is a legendary creature in Australian Aboriginal mythology said to haunt the dense jungle along the Liverpool River in the Northern Territory, Australia. Should an unwary traveler enter his domain, Garkain swoops down from the trees on his leathery wings and envelops them. It is a story parents tell to their Australian children to tell them to not use physical violence as a way to solve problems. After suffocating his victim with his foul stench, Garkain eats their flesh, leaving the intruder’s spirit to forever wander the vast jungle in search of their final resting place.
