Warraburnburn (spirit)

Like people, warraburnburn live in family groups. Though they cannot be seen, they can sometimes be heard calling out to one another as they move across the country to hunt. They also have the ability to communicate internally with people, warning them when strangers enter their land. Warraburnburn know the country intimately and can be both protective and dangerous. Some may mislead people, turning the land over to make it confusing and unfamiliar, while others guide people to safety.
