Chaga folktale culture-hero (the Mrile/Murile cycle) collected by Gutmann and retold by Alice Werner. A mortal youth, not a god; classified mortal. The distinct fragmentary figure 'Mrule, the stranger from the sky' (one-legged, half grass) is not merged here. No death recorded (he returns home), so vitalStatus 'alive'.
Powers
ascend to the sky-country on a stool
bring fire-making to the Moon-chief
