The legend is about the appearance of a father without his head. In some cases there are several. Although the stories vary by country (in several countries there are more than one), almost all seem to agree that the origin of this legend is in the times of the inquisition where anyone who was accused against religious interests and their rulers was executed. In some of the cases, the priest could rebel against the mistreatment of the indigenous people. In others, it could be a priest that vices and their passions defocused their vocation. Whatever its origin, we can know that it was the cause for it to lose its head.

The Trauco lives in the forest, moving through the branches of the trees. His home is holes in the trees and caves in which he lives with the Fiura.

The union of Trauco and her daughter would come out more Traucos and Fiuras that populate the area. Both live in the forest and act similarly to the way incubus and succubus.

The origin of the Siguanaba varies from country to country as well as its name. However, almost all agree in the description of an attractive woman who, when revealing her face, is a horrible horse.

Since ancient times, we know about stories of mythical creatures in every part of the world. We often take these stories as metaphor or fables but still, some people can argue that this is feasible proof of human-hybrids or even an ancient not-human civilization: the Nephilim. The Lion like Man of Moab may be one of those out of the normal proof. Besides, beyond the Bible and Myth, there’s some science related to Lion like Men.
