A legend tells of a monstrous Muldjewangk who once attacked a Steamboat owned by European settlers. The captain saw two great Hand s grasping the boat's hull of the boat so grabbed his Gun . Aboriginal Elder s on board warned the captain not to shoot, but their pleas fell on Deaf Ear s. "You're going to suffer now" they warned. Soon later, the captain suffered from weeping red Blister s all over his body, and took six months to die. The Muldjewangk pesters Ngurunderi (see Murray River ) and his wives when they settle on the banks of Lake Alexandrina by wrecking their fishing nets. Large clumps of floating Seaweed are said to hide Muldjewangks and are to be avoided. Large Footprint s have also been seen. Some elders now say the Muldjewangks no longer inhabit the river system.
