Round 13: Tossup 1
An angry spirit of this phenomenon crushed the crystal hearts of a group of monsters led by Unktehi and scattered their bones after losing worshippers to them. A spirit of this phenomenon saved a girl traveling down a waterfall, and resurrected Gunnodoyak after he was swallowed by a serpent. Members of a tribe who have visions of beings of this phenomenon can take on the role of a sacred clown called a Heyoka. Creatures embodying this phenomenon are opposed by horned serpents and underwater panthers. Those creatures of this phenomenon fight with whales and are depicted with an X-shape on top of totem poles in the Pacific Northwest. For 10 points, name this weather phenomenon summoned by a namesake bird along with lightning. ■END■
