The Thunderbird
The thunderbird is one of the most powerful birds in the world. It is strong, fast, intelligent, and anyone who has ever seen one will agree that it is one amazing sight.
The Thunderbird was said to reside on the top of a mountain in hawaii, and was the servant of a Great Spirit. The Thunderbird only flew anywhere to carry messages from one spirit to another. It was also told that the thunderbird also controlled rainfall.
The few thunderbirds we know of have been said to be able to shape shift into human form by tilting back their beaks like a mask, and by removing their feathers as if it were a feather-covered blanket. There are stories of thunderbirds in human form actually marrying other humans! Families of thunderbirds who where in human form were said to have lived along the northern tip of Vancouver Island.
The Sioux tribe believed that long ago the Thunderbirds hunted dangerous reptilian monsters called Unktehila.
There is an ancient story of an Indian tribe, that where great friends with the thunderbirds. The thunderbirds would act as messengers for the tribe, and in return the tribe would share food, shelter, and most of all, friendship, with the thunderbirds. Life was good in the tribe, but after time the tribe began to lose interest in the thunderbird. The more they knew about the birds, the less the people wanted to learn about them, and started not to care. Because of this, the people slowly stopped giving the thunderbirds food and shelter which angered the thunderbirds. To top it all off, the tribe began taking in new pets like wolves/ untrained dogs. Thunderbirds are very jealous creatures. They hate to be outdone. Now as the tribe lost almost all interest in the thunderbirds, they also forgot about the fact that they can take human form. This is how the thunderbirds got revenge. They kidnapped a person for each of themselves, and transformed into very similar looking people. They were so similar that even the families of the kidnapped people didn’t know the difference. With this, there were almost as many disguised thunderbirds as real humans. They launched an attack on the humans during a tribal festival. They slaughtered every single one of the humans while still in human form, and the other humans didn’t know what in the world was happening. Not one thunderbird was killed.
