The galipot dog is called "lou-garou", from the French word meaning wolf-man.

Lugaru (book), rougarou (French Loup-garou (wolf-werewolf), variants: Rougarou, Roux-Ga-Roux, Rugaroo, Rugaru) is a kind of folklore werewolves, representing a man with a wolf's head or "hybrids" of a man with dogs, pigs, cows or even chickens (usually white).

A flying galipot is called a sangano or sanku. They suck the blood out of sleeping children at night.

They can influence the will of animals and force them to do their errands. And they also have the ability to become invisible.

To become a galipot, you need to make a contract with the devil and sell him your soul for the ability to transform into other beings. A special sorcerer can also help in this matter, if you contact him with an appropriate request. Galipots are known as violent and hot-tempered individuals, extremely strong and insensitive to the use of firearms against them.

You can only kill them with a wooden cross from a tree cut down on Good Friday. Some believe that it is necessary to use a knife or machete, which has been blessed with water and salt.
