In Australian Aboriginal mythology, Kinie Ger is an evil half-man, half-quoll beast that hunts and kills the innocent with his spear, until he is himself killed in an ambush.

The Kinie Ger was a monster from Australian Aboriginal mythology. It was described as half human and half quoll (a marsupial predator related to the Tasmanian devil). It was a ruthless killer with the head and body of a quoll but the limbs of a man. It wandered around killing innocent people, birds and animals and was the terror of the bush.

Kinie Ger was one who did ruthless and murderous deeds. He had the head, the mouth, the ears, and the body of the native cat of to-day; but his arms, hands, fingers, legs, feet, and toes were shaped after the human fashion. He had not the power of thought and reason, nor the feelings of love or pity; but he had the sneaking habit and the love of cruelty found in cats at the present time. He loved to kill even when he had just finished a meal. He delighted to watch the life-blood flowing from the side of his wounded victim. His happiest moments were those when he saw the glistening eyes staring vacantly and the last breath of life leaving the slain.

Kinie Ger was one who showed no pity. He wrought his cruel vengeance upon animals and birds alike; he slew lizards and reptiles mercilessly.

Legend of australian aborigines. From W.R.Smith's book (1441: p.101-102)

In the myth, the creature was stated to have been killed by the owl and the crow who ambushed him when he came to drink at a water hole. Supposedly when the creature was finally defeated, it shrank down and became the first quoll, the founding father of the quoll race.
