Ahi

Mythology: Indian

A serpent that is large enough to drink all the waters of the earth. It lives in the mountain range that surrounds the world. Legend says when it drank all the waters of the world, the god Indra found it in the mountains and slew it releasing all the waters again. The legend may be symbolic of how water is frozen at Winter and melts back to water during Spring. It is also known for stealing women and cows and endangering fertility.
