The Unexplained Never Ends, That is Why the Collection Never Stops
Curupira Forest Guardian
The Curupira is a legendary mythical creature that refers to a supernatural being who guards the forest in Brazil's Tupi mythology. Curupiras are often male and looks like a boy with flames for hair and green teeth. But the most obvious and unique characteristic of the Curupira is his feet which are turned to face backwards, with the heels to the front.
What does it do? It protects the forest from the destructive nature of man. Those who just hunt for food is OK, but those who hunt for pleasure will feel their wrath. Those who want to destroy the forest for development are also at risk of getting punished by Curupira.
The Curupira will lay traps for those people, so that they will get lost in the forest forever and never find their way out. Although Curupiras seem to be on the side of good, most legends usually regard them as demonic figures.
