Dumagid

Ifugao lower-skyworld deity; came down to Benguet, married the mortal Dugai, fathered Ovug. The split-of-Ovug-into-two-halves is the etiological narrative for the two distinct thunder-sounds the Ifugao recognize: the skyworld-Ovug's voice = sharp lightning-thunder, the earth-Ovug's voice = low rolling-thunder.
