about

El Piuchén

According to Mapuche legend, the Piuchén is a winged serpent, although in it's old age it transforms into a bird the size of a chicken. It inhabits forests near lakes and rivers, its presence revealed by its shrill, whislting calls. The Piuchén is believed to produce an irritating substance that causes severe skin rashes when handled.

It is said that this creature rarely attacks humans and commonly feeds on the blood of sheep, goats and other animals which it mesmerises with its intense gaze. The legend also states that the Piuchén will never attack animals with white hides.
