Bunyip

The Bunyip is a magical creature, that is neither good nor bad that is indigenous to the Australian outback. Living primarily in bodies of water, it attacks humans when its source of food is disturbed. It has long ears, a long tail, and tusks. ("Nymphs Just Wanna Have Fun")

In late 1999, the Charmed Ones used a spell to time travel to the future (2009). While in the future, looking for the spell in the Book of Shadows, they noted that it was "After the demon with the tusk (the Bunyip) and before the spell to discourage a lover." they then flipped past both the Discourage a Lover spell and the Bunyips entry. ("Morality Bites")

Sometime prior to mid-2000, the Charmed Ones used a spell to vanquish a Bunyip.

While facing the Demon of Illusion, (though unaware of who it was,) Phoebe ad libed a vanquishing spell by combining the spell to vanquish a Bunyip with one to vanquish a horned demon. ("Chick Flick")
 * "Evil that has traveled near,
 * I call on you to disappear.
 * Elementals heed my call,
 * Remove this creature from these walls!"

Trying to help Piper through de-stressing her pregnancy in 2003, Paige put tabs on the Book of Shadows to denote creatures that are good, bad, water-related, etc. Piper felt that this was overstepping her authority, and got frustrated while flipping through the book, noting "Oh, yeah? Well, what's a Bunyip? Because it's not good or evil, so what the hell color is that?" then noticing that it had both a red and a white tab on it. "Oh. Well that's confusing." ("Nymphs Just Wanna Have Fun")
