Wati-kutjara

In Australian Aboriginal mythology, the Wati-kutjara are the lizard men (totem: iguana) who originally came from a mountain in the Dream time (they later taught shamans how to use and communicate with the Dream time). They created sacred talismans (called tjurunga) and gave them to the people. They also created trees and plants, and rivers, mountains, valleys and other geographic features. They castrated the man in the moon, Kidili, because he tried to rape the first woman, who then turned into the Pleiades.
