Julana

Julana is a diety of the Jumu and Luritja people of Western Australia and the Northern Territory in Australia. In the mythology of the Jumu and Luritja people, Julana is a echerous spirit who surprises women by burrowing beneath the sand, leaping out, and raping them. When he was alive, he wandered the Earth with his father, Njirana, during the Dreamtime.[1]
