<h2 id="curajhy-yara">Curajhy-Yará</h2>

The myth of the cuarajhy-yará bears similarity to that of the Pombero.

This is a being of the Brazilian-Paraguayan subtropical forests, close to the Guaraní tradition. It is a kind of malevolent **sprite** represented as a white, somewhat red-haired man with feet covered in feathers.
