In Aboriginal legend, the time of creation is known as the Dreamtime. It was a sacred and mystical era in which spirits created the world. One of those spirits - still feared by modern-day Aborigines - was known as the Quinkin. The Quinkin had two distinct beings: one was described as being long and whip thin with a rounded head that had spikes coming out of it. This being lives in cracks in rocks and is good-natured. The other being is evil in nature - big and fat, and known for any and all kind of mischief and bad deeds. Some Aborigines are afraid to even pronounce the name of this spirit for fear of its power.
