Muladona

[1] According to legend, she wandered mountains, especially at night, joining mule trains.

It was claimed that mules were frightened by her presence enough to stampede into ravines and die.

In addition, the animal is always represented with breasts to underline that it is female.

The muleteers used to give their mules small Muladona-shaped pieces of bread to eat, in the belief that this would stop the animals being frightened and allow them to ignore her if she appeared.

In addition, they would repeatedly count the number of mules in the mule train in order to discover if the Muladona had become mixed in with their animals without them realizing, allowing them to avoid paying the price for the havoc she could sow.
