The Bunyip, also known as the Kianpraty, is a creature from the Aboriginal mythology in southeastern Australia. It is said to live in swamps, billabongs, creeks, riverbeds and waterholes. The word bunyip translates to "devil" or "evil spirit" from the Wemba-Wemba language.

Physical descriptions of the bunyip vary. Some say it has a dog-like face, dark fur, a horse-like tail, flippers, walrus-like tusks, a crocodile-like head and a duck-like bill. There are even claims that it resembles a snake with a beard. While its wide range of descriptions make it difficult to determine its appearance, it is agreed that the bunyip is aquatic.
