Enduri Senggu (Hedgehog Goddess, the Divine Hedgehog), a Manchu shamanic constellation located in Cygnus. In Manchu, enduri means "god" or "godness", and sengge (spelled as senggu in this star name) means "hedgehog". Another more common proper name for this goddess is Jeguru Enduri.
Jeguru Enduri does not refer to a single specific hedgehog, but rather to many Jeguru Enduri existing at the same time, much like hedgehogs living in groups in the real world. Each has the form of a hedgehog, so the name means "hedgehog-shaped goddesses", not "goddess of hedgehogs").
