Name: Pomola Tribal affiliation: Penobscot, Abenaki Alternate spellings: Pamola, Bemola, Bmola, Bemohla, Bmohla, Bahmolai, Pomolo, Bumole, Pamolai, Pamole, P'mula, P-mol-a Pronunciation: buh-moh-lah Type: Monster, giant bird In Penobscot folklore, Pomola was a bird spirit that lived on Mt Katahdin and made cold weather. Pomola was associated with night, wind, snow, and storms. Apparently it had a moose's head according to some legends. The only version we've been able to find just says that Pomola was large enough to carry off a moose, not that it looks like one. Either way, Pomola definitely is not a creature any human would want to mess with, and the Penobscots and Abenakis avoided climbing to the top of this mountain so as not to disturb it.
