In one story, this figure lulled a group of ducks to sleep by singing a song that would leave their eyes red if they were opened, after which he killed half of them and roasted them. However, this figure promptly got his foot caught in a broken tree, which allowed some wolves to eat all his ducks. Another story claims that he was born from the cosmic egg as Ksa, or wisdom, but after being outwitted by the demon Gnaski he took on his regular form. His brother, the protector of the Aurora Borealis, is the storm monster Iya. He regularly paints black circles around his eyes and dresses in red. Fo
