Overview

The origin story of the Native American myth of Uktena, the Horned Serpent. UKTENA had been contained in the cave but mankind's greed and destruction of Mother Earth, allowed the beast to escape the confines of the cave and begin to go on a rampage once again. A major conflict with the local armed forces erupts and UKTENA is unstoppable. A Native American woman, the descendent of the shaman that cast the original spell, uses a sacred totem to reverse the spell and turn UKTENA back into the human he once was.
