In Karajarri mythology, the '''Bagadjimbiri''' are two brothers and creator spirits.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Piddington |first=Ralph |date=1930 |title=The Water-Serpent in Karadjeri Mythology |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/40327334 |journal=Oceania |volume=1 |issue=3 |pages=352–354 |issn=0029-8077}}</ref> They arose from the ground as dingos and made water-holes, sex organs (from a mushroom and another fungus) for the androgynous first people, and invented circumcision. Taking human form, the Bagadjimbiri began an argument with Ngariman, a quoll-person. Ngariman was annoyed by the Bagadjimbiri's laughter. He killed the brothers underground, but was drowned by Dilga, their mother, who flooded the underground murder-spot with her milk, which also revived her sons. The Bagadjimbiri eventually turned into snakes and went to live in the sky as clouds.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Piddington |first=Ralph |date=1930 |title=The Water-Serpent in Karadjeri Mythology |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/40327334 |journal=Oceania |volume=1 |issue=3 |pages=352–354 |issn=0029-8077}}</ref>
