La Patasola
La Patasola, literally "single footed", is a figure from the Antioquia region of Colombia in that she brings harm to men who harm what she cares about, in this case, the forest. She is a shapeshifter who takes the form of a beautiful woman to lure men with her cries of fear. When the men, who are often causing harm in one way or another to the rain forest, come to her, she drops her beautiful mask and slaughters them in an effort to protect the forest.
