Mimi (folklore)

Mimis (or Mimih spirits[1]) are fairy-like beings of Arnhem Land in the folklore of the Aboriginal Australians of northern Australia.

To avoid this, they usually spend most of their time living in rock crevices.

The Mimi taught the Aboriginal people how to paint, and how to hunt and cook kangaroo meat.

The Mimis are considered to be mischievous but generally harmless.
