They also are all giant varieties of\ncurrent animals in North America who also were found in North America.\n\nWiggikki:  dire wolves\nNashhwonk:  giant elk\nKetin(sha):  cave lion(ness)\nPanigaku:  (don't know what a giant boar would be)\n(Cim's tribe):  giant mink\nMin:  (still don't know anything about these)\n\nI don't remember the name of the big cat guy who attacks the Panigaku,\nbut he is represented by a smilodon (sabre-toothed tiger).  This is\nbecause his weapon is make of a stick with two rib bones at the end\ncurving like the fangs of this animal did.  This also parallels the\nsmilodon in the Tale of the Boy Named Frog in the Book of the New Sun.\n Does anyone have any more theories on parallels in these two stories?\n\nprion."
