HOMETOWN:Tay Thai Ethnic Group CURRENT RESIDENCE:
Aquatic Spirit Park (Linh Thuỷ Viên)
JOB:
Aquatic Spirit (Linh Thuỷ Thú) - a guardian spirit that defends against evil spirits and demons, ensuring favorable rains and harmonious winds.
BACKGROUND:Local beliefs hold that Thuồng Luồng is the most powerful and fierce aquatic creature in the aquatic realm. Often appearing at the sources of rivers, streams, or places with abundant water, it's considered the master of underground water veins. As water plays a crucial role in human existence, the Thuồng Luồng/large snake - the guardian of the water source - is revered and worshiped even more than other entities by the Tay and Nung people. Therefore, Thuồng Luồng was chosen as the Aquatic Spirit.
