Azeban is a lower-level trickster spirit in Abenaki mythology. The traditional homeland of the Abenaki is Wobanakik (Place of the Dawn), what is now called northern New England and southern Quebec. Azeban is a raccoon, the Abenaki trickster figure, and does many foolish and/or mischievous things in Abenaki folktales, but unlike animal tricksters in some other tribes, is not dangerous or malevolent. Azeban deceives animals and other beings for food or other services.
Azeban has noticed that the modern-day raccoons have been getting fatter lately, and he criticized Tanuki Bering for posing as him, and he doesn't like it one bit.
Here is Josephine greeting her new friend, Altra Roo, to her children. "Kids, I want you to meet my new friend, Altra Roo." Said Josephine. "Hello everyone, I'm Altra Roo. Nice to meet you." Greeted Altra to the family of tree kangaroos.
While at her visit in the Hundred Acre Woods, Altra stumbled upon a big pot of honey. She was so hungry that she ate the whole thing without knowing who it belonged to. She ate the whole thing, and her belly was big, bloated, and stuffed. "I can't believe I ate the whole honey pot." Said Altra.
