Camahueto

In southern Chile there exists the myth of a unicorn calf that inhabits the marshes, known as the camahueto. It is said that when one is captured, its horn must be removed and planted in the earth. Afterward, a spring of fresh drinking water will emerge from that spot, which will transform into a river or stream after 25 years. In that same place, on a night of the full moon, a new camahueto will be born.

It is also said that shavings of the horn can cure illnesses and even grant supernatural strength to whoever ingests them.
