In Australian Aboriginal mythology (specifically: Murngin ), Yurlungur is a coppersnake who was awakened from a deep sleep by the odour of a woman's menstrualblood. The woman and her sisters, the Wawalag, were eaten by Yurlungur, who was told at a later snake meeting to regurgitate the women. In Australian Aborigine ceremonies, the vomiting symbolizes boys entering manhood.
