Kutkh

Kutkh is a raven spirit revered by indigenous peoples of the Russian Far East, principally the Chukchi, the Koryaks, and the Itelmens of Kamchatka, who call him by regional names including Kutq and Quikinna'qu. He appears throughout their oral traditions as a creator figure, a fertile ancestor of humankind, a powerful shaman, and a trickster, sometimes forming himself independently and in other tellings shaping the land through his own body, his feathers becoming the mountains of Kamchatka and his droppings becoming its islands. Several myths credit him with bringing light to the world in the form of the sun and the moon, often through trickery, and his own virility features in accounts that trace the origin of the Itelmen people to his offspring.
