He has no idea how easy it will be to destroy him. He will die trying to take your life, to claim the stone you possess.
He won't succeed. You will dazzle him and the warrior shall perish.
The Uktena, in one legend, was a man who was transformed by the Little Men (maybe it was the Yunwi Tsunsdi' aka Little People). As this creature he was sent to kill the Sun. She has sent down a sickness because man angered her. He failed and was angry and jealous that Rattlesnake was sent instead.
Pronounced ook-tay-nah, this creature is the one of the deadliest among the creatures of the Cherokee. It has a body of a snake and has rings or spots of color going down its body. One description also has it having buzzard wings and deer horns.
They are hunted for the crystal on their forhead. As an object of great power, the Ulunsuti or Ulun'suti stone has great magic for good and evil.
It dazzles the person and even asleep it can render death.
I would actually be ok with this one because I wouldn't try to steal his precious stone so he would (hopefully) leave me alone!

only if you stay away from it.
DeleteWow 'even asleep it can render death' like the Medusa that killed the Kracken even though she was dead.
ReplyDeleteit is one awesome creature.
DeleteSounds like a real bad-@$$.
ReplyDeleteSo how does one defeat an uktena? I assume there must be a way if people keep trying?

I believe it said the seventh ring on its body was its vulnerable spot because that is where the heart was located in the body.
