Unhcegila

By Crusader1307

The Lakota Sioux of North America have a Legend regarding a Spirit known as ''Unhcegila''. This Entity was a demonic force, which was portrayed in Native Art as a ''Giant Serpent''. Unhcegila tormented The Lakota often, and many Great Warriors tried to fight and rid them of this ''curse''. Only after a set of ''Magic Arrows'' were crafted by a Sioux Shaman, was a Warrior able to slay The Demon. Falling to The Earth, Wi (The Sun Deity), dried up Unhcegila's body. This ''body'' would form the rock geography of South Dakota, or what is known as ''The Badlands''.
