Lore
Underwater Panther, known as Mishipeshu in Algonquian traditions, is a powerful horned lynx-like spirit dwelling in deep waters, controlling lakes and rivers with its copper tail and fierce strength. It battles Thunderbirds in epic storms, symbolizing the conflict between water and sky forces. Revered and feared, it protects sacred sites but drowns intruders or those who disrespect nature. In legends, its copper scales and horns represent wealth and danger, and offerings are made to appease it, reflecting indigenous respect for the power and unpredictability of water in the natural world.
