Misikinebik
Lake Serpent.
A Menominee water-monster. This monster, in the form of a snake of many colours, was eating up all the tribe so Manabush offered himself and, once inside the serpent, stabbed it in the heart and killed it.
Misiginebig is an underwater horned serpent, common to the legends of most Algonquian tribes, which is said to lurk in lakes and eat humans. Their sworn enemies are the Thunder Birds, who can kill them with bolts of thunder. The name misiginebig literally means Great Serpent in the Anishinabe languages.
