In [[Karajarri]] [[Australian Aboriginal mythology|mythology]], the '''Bagadjimbiri''' are two brothers and creator spirits.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Piddington |first=Ralph |date=1930 |title=The Water-Serpent in Karadjeri Mythology |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/40327334 |journal=Oceania |volume=1 |issue=3 |pages=352–354 |issn=0029-8077}}</ref>  They arose from the ground as [[dingo]]s and made water-holes, [[sex organ]]s (from a mushroom and another [[fungus]]) for the androgynous first people, and invented [[circumcision]].  Taking human form, the Bagadjimbiri began an argument with [[Ngariman]], a [[quoll]]-person.  Ngariman was annoyed by the Bagadjimbiri's laughter.  He killed the brothers underground, but was drowned by [[Dilga]], their mother, who flooded the underground murder-spot with her milk, which also revived her sons.  The Bagadjimbiri eventually turned into snakes and went to live in the sky as clouds.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Piddington |first=Ralph |date=1930 |title=The Water-Serpent in Karadjeri Mythology |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/40327334 |journal=Oceania |volume=1 |issue=3 |pages=352–354 |issn=0029-8077}}</ref>
