Karora the Creator, appears in the creation story, "Bandicoots Come from His Body". In the story, Karora creates life from his own body. After a time of being in a deep sleep under the earth, the first animals began to appear. Rat-like creatures, grew from his navel and armpits, leapt out from under the ground and burst into life.
