- Procris gave Shafalus a special dog that could outrun any other and a special javelin that never missed its target.
- Shafalus greatly angered Aurora and sometime later she sent out a special fox. Shafalus sent his dog after the fox and after a throw of the javelin, Procris was heard crying with the javelin stabbed into her. She died a while later.
