Teju Jagua is the first son of Tau and Kerana and one of the seven legendary monsters of Guaraní mythology.
Thus, the pair's first son was a huge lizard with seven dog-heads and eyes that shoot out fire.
He feeds on fruit and his brother Yasy Yateré gave him honey, his favorite food.
Its skin became shiny after rolling around in the gold and precious stones of Itapé.
