This myth is closely related to another told by the Wakaranga tribe whom are also located in Zimbabwe. In this myth they incorporate an African version of a femme fatale archetype. This archetype is shown through Morongo, Mwuetsi's wife. In one version of this myth she betrays him and sleeps with a snake. She is the seductive woman that ensnares her lover with charm. After this deception, Morongo gives birth to 'violent creatures' that are found in Arica, such as: Lions, leopards, snakes, and scorpions.
