Tutruicá, also written Trutruica, is the second great creator of Emberá cosmogony and the owner of the subterranean world, Armucura, a realm reached through water where death has no power. In the creation-contest with Karagabí he models a man and a woman out of clay and, breathing on their foreheads, gives them a life that moves at once; because they are made in the deathless underworld his people do not die. The two gods, in setting the world between them, establish the web of dependence among plants, animals and people that the Emberá express in the idea that hunter and hunted are reciprocal prey. To Tutruicá and his underworld are traced the origin of the jaibaná's shamanic knowledge, condensed in the figure of the tiger mother-in-law Imamá-Pãkðré, and the beginnings of many animals, snakes, bats and peccaries among them, and of cultivated plants such as peach palm, maize and plantain. Some tellings make him, like the high god, uncreated; others a creature of Dachizeze.
