Panpanpalala is the crested bellbird of the Uluru Tjukurpa, appearing in the Lungkata narrative as the pair of hunter men who had speared an emu. When they came to Lungkata's camp asking after the wounded bird and he denied having seen it, they walked on, but the emu's tracks betrayed his theft. In their anger the bellbird hunters lit the great bushfire at the base of Uluru whose smoke overcame Lungkata and brought about his death. As an ancestral agent of justice against greed and lying, Panpanpalala embodies the crested bellbird whose ringing call is a familiar sound of the desert, and the being is generally invoked as a pair of brothers in keeping with the twinned hunters of the story.
