Chullachaki

He is generally described as short and ugly,[6] with one leg shorter than the other and one foot either larger than the other,[7] pointed backward[6][7] or in the form of a hoof.

Others say that he appears in the shape of a very short man dressed in rags, waving his closed fists in the air looking for a fight.

In this case, the indigenous people believe a man must accept his challenge and beat him until he uncovers all the richness he has hidden in the jungle.

He who declines this challenge is cursed with the inability to hunt and with foul luck: family and friends turn into enemies, wives leave with other men, etc.

[citation needed] According to a local legend, Chullachaqui is a member of an older species, one that lived there long before humans.
