The legends say that this spirit is very big and its body enrings the island like a snake. The head of Khubanannuh is on the western part of the... island and its tail goes to the sea, creating boarders of its posessions - the protected living zone for people, animals and plants. In the morning one can see strange traces on the sand of the seashore. People say it is Khubanannuh coming out of the sea to check its land.

 
Khubanannuh is very kind to all beengs of the island but can be very dangerous for those who come with bad intentions. Last time Khubonnanuh has a new duty - to protect the island against commercial tourism and the spirit seems to be really competent in it.:)
