Abentegen

The Abentegen or Abentecon (/a.ˈben.te.ˌtʃon/, from Lashe Felse abena tecon "water fowl mink") or Goosemink is a mythological creature of Ankacau folklore. It is typically depicted with the head (and sometimes wings) of a goose and the body of a weasel.
== Behaviour ==
The Abentegen is notable for its mischievous and impish attitude, especially towards oblivious humans and animals. It is said to push fishermen into the water and scare off cattle. It also abducts children and abandons them in remote places such as river isles or treetops. The Abentegen defends itself with powerful gusts, generated by flapping its wings, with its sharp beak or a lash of its furry tail. It can run almost as fast as an adult human and scream louder than the thunder.
The Abentegen socializes with few other creatures like geese or lizards. It is nocturnal and feeds on berries, bread and harvested grains.
== Distribution ==
The legend of the Abentegen is mostly told in Nacafi's coastal settlements or those near the great rivers. Early depictions can be found on rock faces throughout Inner Nacafi.
