Originating in the Chiloé Archipelago[citation needed], the bull was said to have a single horn on its forehead, similar to a unicorn's.

[1] The exact nature of the creature varies within folklore, but it is variously said to eat humans, control time and create rain or thunder at will.

[3] Characterised as a destructive animal, the Camahueto is said to destroys all crops and capture all creatures it comes across when it travels on land.

[2] Legends tell of humans being dragged into the depths of the sea by the Camahueto when they cross its path, or approach its resting place.

[1][4] According to legend, the only way to rid yourself of a Camahueto is to call for the aid of a machi, or witch, who can lead the animal back to sea using a lasso made of kelp.
