<h2 id="epunamun">Epunamun</h2>

This is a fantastic being from the mythology of southern Chile whose gaze flashes and whose body is covered in hair. Its enormous feet, as well as its imposing arms, grant it superhuman strength. According to tradition, the Epunamun can predict the future, and it is for this reason that Indian warriors used to consult it before going into battle.
