Do you have a favorite creature from the Central and South American Folklore? Or do you want to see in the future a video about a certain creature?
You forgot Carbuncle.
having seeing Monkey D. Luffy's sun god form I think he matches the body with the Curupira very well
Sun god nika is actually loosely based on a Caribbean voodoo deity joy boy
Man, this is fascinating; I never really knew much about Central and South American folklore. Any chances of doing Caribbean sometime?
For sure!
I always learn so much from your videos! Thank you for continuing to cover more obscure myths, legends, and folklore!
glad you find them interesting. And thank you for watching!
@@MythosTheHistorianyou forgot quetzalcoatl, xolotl, boto encantado, tezcatlipoca, ahuizotl, cherufe
@@langitsagawani5332 I forgot: Boto Encantado, Ahuizotl, and Cherufe, the other ones you mentioned are all gods, so their place is not in this video.
How are you doing sir. Thank you for your wonderful cultural channel. Iam Arabic lady subscriber to several British and American UA-cam channels. We are as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level, improve our English language as well.actually the mythology is part of country culture. When we were kids our parents warned to go out from house at noon there are monsters, at night there are ghosts. We watched King Kong and Incredible Hulk man who turned into giant we called green man . I learned that in Appalachian region full of superstitions , legends and mythical creatures such as big foot in Canada , USA ( Sasquatch ) , Jersey devil ( leed Devil ) , flat woods monster , bell witch, moon eyed people, moth man , Wampus cat . Happy Independence Day . I hope I can learn a lot from your knowledge. Good luck to you your dearest ones .
I hope you're doing well with your studies mythology and folklore can be a great bridge between people all over the world

Curupira has only the feet backwards, which the curupira uses lure hunters away from their prey since the curupira is a protector of the forest.
Thanks for your information brother ❤🎉
Thanks for another cool video!
This one is cool thanks for making it.
Thx for making this. These are so cool to learn about. Going to search and see if u have one on Mexico! I know the cadejo(ive seen the black and white dogs) and duendes are known in Mexico as well! I wonder why so many of these have backward facimg feet ?! 😮😮😮 New Sub here ! 😃
Missed this one somehow thanks for posting the link and info
Thank you for the information I didn't know any of these except for one
Will you do a part 2 on caribbean myths. Especially in Guyana. There are a few that you didn't mention.
Thank you for your informative videos.
Where do you find the images for your descriptions, actually?
Cheers,

Once of my favourite
I first heard of the Cadejos from my ex from Honduras. She didn't know they had a proper name. As a girl she would sit at her window waiting for her father to come home from drinking on payday. When he arrived he would be accompanied by a black dog not their own. As soon as he entered the yard the dog would leave, but be back the next payday.
❤🤍💙 all your videos mate👍
So many creatures in one video.
There is a cool series called Charlie Hernandez that talks about South America (latinox) and Portuguese/ Brazilian folklore
I have a question, why do so many myths have backwards feet?
That’s to confuse the hunters on the direction the creature is going
luz mala, in portuguese is called luz má, or in english can be translated as bad light or evil light is very curious to me, I'm brazilian, and in the most far away areas in my country, tales of these kind of lights appearing are very common, and some people see as just bullshit, UFO sights, or some kind of natural phenomena that these people don't know about, the thing is, my father once saw something like that. after having a really scary nightmare, he ran to the outside of the house and started to pray under a tree we had in our yard (my father is christian, but not very into the religion, I can count in one hand the amount of times I've seen him to a church or do a prayer, this nightmare really fucked him up in the head for a little while), while kneeling close to the tree, he saw a extremely powerful light, that he could even feel the heat, so he went inside again, I was like 12 at the time, I'm not religious myself anymore, and he could be just tripping, but some shit that happened to us when I was young were creepy as hell.
Curiosidades: curupira é um guardião da floresta que não precisa comer e se sustenta por energia mágica, algumas versões dizem que ele na verdade é um de vários de um povo mágico guardião, Boitatá pode enlouquecer ou segar quem olhar para ele, de forma que ele pode derrotar aqueles que prejudicam a natureza apenas com sua presença, seu fogo é mágico e não apaga na água e vento, a mula sem cabeça pode ser liberta de sua maldição se alguém tiver coragem de montar nela e tirar sua sela.
Outros folclores:
Encourado: um vampiro que é imune a tudo que mata outros vampiros convencionais, possuí pele cinzenta e sua única fraqueza é o possível risco de morrer ao entrar em uma casa sem ser convidado, porém ele possuí hipnose para o proteger disso, o único jeito de se proteger dele é a cidade sacrificar um animal ou pessoa para ele.
Corpo seco: havia um homem ruim que maltratava os próprios pais, tão cruel que ao morrer, foi recusado pelo paraíso e pelo inferno, e virou um monstro que devora carne humana e pode dividir sua alma do corpo, sua forma fantasma, " bradador" consegue devorar almas.
Charro negro: um esqueleto que monta um cavalo e carrega um cubo de ouro, quem aceitar será punido com azar e quem recusar estará seguro pois ele apenas castiga gananciosos.
Boto cor de rosa: a lenda conta que ele tem a forma de um animal de mesmo nome que se transforma em homem, é tão bonito que encanta mulheres, mas as abandona depois de engravidar.
Iara: uma sereia que costumava ser uma indígena que ao ser morta pela própria tribo, foi ressuscitada pelo lago e virou uma sereia que matou sua tribo e atraí homens para os devorar.
Cumadre Fulozinha: uma menina fantasma que protege a natureza e gosta de pregar peças, é capaz de desenvolver apreço e amizades por quem respeita a natureza e ofereça doces para ela.
Cuca: uma bruxa com aparência de jacaré humanoide e cabelos loiros ou negros que devora crianças desobedientes, uma bruxa que gosta de fazer poções e feitiços como qualquer outra, ela vive por mil anos e tera uma filha de forma hermafrodita para continuar seu legado e passará o resto de sua vida em aposentadoria transformada em um pássaro.
Matinta Pereira: uma bruxa com feições de pássaro, podendo váriar em principal como coruja ou águia, suas lendas variam de uma bruxa que atormenta vilas exigindo comida para as deixar em paz ou um guia espiritual indígena que ganhou seus poderes de forças ancestrais e mágicas da natureza de forma a ser a bruxa com mais recursos mágicos que se dedica a proteger a natureza.
Dragão de Guabiruba: um dragão com penas que espreita pelo céu tudo que vê, procurando comida e possivelmente protegendo a natureza de seu território
Fadas elementares do ar: um povo de fadas com poderes mágicos de vento e outros elementos que ao mesmo tempo que protegem natureza, vivem uma vida tranquila e feliz.
Please do Caribbean
Will do!
We also have Duende in Philippines
Oh me oh my
Here we have the David Attenborough of cryptids and mythology.
These people are so serious scared unknown that is so crazy huh
Duende: thought they were Iberian. Luz Mala my favorite.
Y si , pero también hay en los países Americanos hispanos
Mate, who is/are the artist of these creatures in your videos? The art is fantastic but every time I put a creature name into a google search I can’t find any of this specific art relating to it. So where do you find it?
I created them through AI generators and many many attemps for each creature :)
Ohh that’s why I can’t find them, then. They’re brilliant! You’ve done a superb job. They’re not available anywhere as stand-alone pics, I s’pose?
Than you! Unfortunately no. They were a short time in by creation folder :)
Aww now that’s a damn shame. I have an Instagram fantasy art account and I would’ve loved to have posted some and get you noticed more. Your interpretations of these creatures are superb and I know a lot of my followers would’ve loved to have seen them.
What about Qarqacha?
Most of these seem like benevolent guardians, or sprites/spirits that are designed to enforce lessons
What’s the odds you do Filipino folklore? I love your channel keep up the amazing work!
Thank you! For sure I will do it in the future, just that at this moment I try to cover broader zones. The main idea is to cover wider zones and then sub-zones: Like Brazilian, Filipino etc. :)
@@MythosTheHistorian Would any of those zones include creatures of Portugal Mythology?
Probably, but for sure not this year.
@@MythosTheHistorian le sigh.
I'd love to hear them, just found out I have Portuguese in my DNA ! 🥰 Now I want to learn more about Portugal, and especially the folklore !
What if they are all real but are of a higher dimension than our 3d percepción of reality? I think in that all the time
1:18 I've also seen her name spelled "Sihuanaba" pronounced as "SEE-WAHN-A-BA"
Costa Rica is in Central America
Interesting how so many of these creatures appear as a beautiful woman luring men to their doom, or as Bigfoot type creatures. And how several had backward facing feet. I wonder what the thinking is about that.
What’s with all the backwards feet or legs
Can’t believe you forgot the Chupacabra! One of the biggest creatures un hispanic/latino folklore.
Didn' t forgot. It s not part of Central and South America. It's part of North America - Mexico - Puerto Rico
@@MythosTheHistorian although you are right. You did mention Dominican Republic, which is Caribbean. Still looking forward to more content 👌🏽
@edgardorivera1724 correct :) thank you mate. It will be added in the following videos. Also N America and Caribbean creatures.
From Puerto Rico , my BFF says it's definitely a creature that lives in the forests there ! 😮
lots of nephalim like creatures 👍
