Augerino

The Augerino is a large creature from Lumberjack Folklore. They are thought to live in the dry areas of Colorado and live burrowed completely underground. Due to their solely subterranean lifestyle, they are rarely seen and lack significant physical description. They are known to have a great disliking of water, and thrive in particularly dry areas. They often attack and damage water courses and dams, releasing large amounts of water.
