They were supposed to live under immense forest trees where the ground was seen to be bulged up round the tree. No entrance is visible but the Ngŭrŭng can find one for himself. They came out at night and had lots of mūng (“magic”). They are invisible to all but the wirrarap (“medicine man, magic man, doctor, traditional healer”)s. The particular manner in which the Ngŭrŭng hurt people is by putting some mūng in your knee so that you cannot walk" === See also === ngurungaeta (“head man, tribal leader”) berrinŭn (“a mythical creature in Wurundjeri culture”) === References ===
