The legend is known in the sugar factories of the northeast of Argentina. According to popular belief, it is a spirit that devours people when it wanders through the cane fields. There are several entries that refer to his appearance: some of them describe him as a large snake, others as a dog, while many others give him humanoid features or translucent shadow features.

He has big red glowing eyes and fiery hair color. He feeds on human flesh. Only those who were his victims know about him.

Neither edged weapons nor firearms can damage it. However, according to them, you can escape from his claws alive by showing him a cross formed by daggers.
