Creation Myth

One day the Great Spirit collected swirls of dust from the four
directions in order to create the Comanche people. These people
formed from the Earth had the strength of mighty storms.

Unfortunately, a shape-shifting demon was also created and began
to torment the people. The Great Spirit cast the demon into a bottomless pit.

To seek revenge the demon took refuge in the fangs and stingers
of poisonous creatures and continues to harm people every chance it gets.
