The millalobo is a creature from southern Chile, conceived by the union between a beautiful woman and a sea wolf during the period when the waters of the sea invaded the land.

The millalobo is the supreme lord of the seas and of all beings that dwell in the sea. It has the appearance of a great seal, and in its face the features of a human and a fish are blended together. The upper half of its body is that of a man and the lower half that of a sea wolf, covered in short, yellow fur ("milla" means "gold" in the Mapuche language).
