Big Man-Eater

Big Man-Eater is a figure from the myths of the Alabama tribe. He was a man who was really bad at hunting and told his wife to cut off her limbs for him to eat. She ran away and had her brothers kill him. They burned him to ashes, and from his ashes emerged bees, wasps, mosquitos, flies, and crows.
