Bükrek Turkish Mythology

Bükrek is a very powerful dragon that exists in Turkish and Altaic mythology. It is also known as Bükrek or Bukra (Bukrak). Its etymological origin comes from the words Bük, Büğ, Buk. It is derived from the meanings bent, twisted. It has good qualities and there are no rumors that it harms people, and in some stories it is mentioned that it helps.

It lives in the great seas that connect all the seas. He is the strongest and invincible dragon of the seas. It impresses its enemies with the whistling sound it makes and makes it come towards it even if it is against their will. Even from the other side of the world, his enemies have no chance of escaping this effect. His worst enemy is an evil dragon named Shangal. He waged a nine-year war with Shanghai to stop his oppression of people. While fighting, their appearance is reminiscent of the Ying-Yang symbol. Bükrek won this war, but he was also very worn out and injured. Although he saved people from great troubles with his victory, he returned to the seas because he was treated badly by people. According to a rumor, he would go out of the seas again every thousand years and check the situation.
