La PatasolaA one-legged forest seducer of Colombian lore who lures men into the wilderness. Often read as a warning about the jungle’s dangers and gendered violence in oral tradition.Saci-pererêBrazil’s one-legged trickster: a Black boy in a red cap, pipe in mouth, riding dust-devils, switching salt and sugar, freeing livestock. A syncretic Tupi, African, and Portuguese figure, not a single Indigenous demon and not a cute mascot only.
