The Australian version of the boogeyman. This creature lives in fig trees, just waiting for someone to take a nap under one. He then drops down and swallows the person whole. Later, he takes a nap and regurgitates the poor person, now shorter than he was before. If this repeats often enough, the person becomes another Yara-ma-yha-who. (Lauritzen Gardens)

Well, that's a gruesome guy. I am definitely not taking any naps under a fig tree. Just who would repeatedly take a nap under a fig tree...just asking for trouble I think. Good capture, Jeff.

Jeff, thank you for this picture with its interesting narrative. I will never take a nap under an Down Under fig tree again, 😁 !
