Sugaar
In Basque mythology, Sugaar (also Sugar, Sugoi, Suarra, Maju) is the male half of a pre-Christian Basque deity associated with storms and thunder. He is normally imagined as a dragon or serpent. Unlike his female consort, ''Mari'', there are very few remaining legends about ''Sugaar''. The basic purpose of his existence is to periodically join with ''Mari'' in the mountains to generate the storms.
In one myth ''Sugaar'' seduces a Scottish princess in the village of Mundaka to father the mythical first Lord of Biscay, ''Jaun Zuria''. This legend is believed to be a fabrication made to legitimate the Lordship of Biscay as a separate state from Navarre, because there is no historical account of such a lord. Only the fact that the delegates of Mundaka were attributed with the formal privilege of being the first to vote in the ''Biltzar'' (Parliament) of the province may look as unlikely indication of the partial veracity of this legend.
== Etymology ==
The name Suga(a)r is derived from ''suge'' (serpent) and ''-ar'' (male), thus "male serpent".〔Trask, L. ''The History of Basque'', Routledge 1997 ISBN 0-415-13116-2〕 The suggestions of a formation based on ''su'' (fire) and ''gar'' (flame), thus yielding "flame of fire" are considered folk etymology.〔
Sugoi, another name of the same deity, has two possible interpretations, either a ''suge'' + ''o()i'' (former, "old serpent") or ''su'' + ''goi'' ("high fire"). There is no likely etymology for the third name of this god, Maju.
