Dawurrmonuk (itchy caterpillar) is an element of the Wagilag Creation Story for the Liyagalawumirr clan from Ngilipidji. Two sisters, known as the Wagilag sisters, travelled to a waterhole named Mirarrmina. The younger sister profaned the pool of Witij the Olive Python by accidentally allowing her blood to fall into the waterhole. Witij became angry at their presence and swallowed up the sisters, all the women, children and water from the waterhole. Witij fell to the ground in agony from swallowing beings from the same moiety. His cries of agony alerted the other snakes who became angry and demanded Witij regurgitate the Wagilag sisters. Witij complied and regurgitated the Wagilag sisters and all the water from the waterhole which created the first monsoonal rains. After being regurgitated, the sisters are lifeless till they become woken by the bites of Dawurrmonuk. Witij becomes angry again and beats the sisters with clapsticks before swallowing them again.
