Mr. P’s Mythopedia made this infographic titled “Creatures, Beings, and Spirits of Brazilian Mythology.” The illustrated infographic features 12 pictures of creatures, beings, and spirits in Brazilian mythology. Along with each picture is the name of the being in Spanish and its English meaning. At the bottom of the infographic, the creator explains how Brazilian mythology is a conglomeration of various diverse sources. These include Portuguese and African legends and traditions as well as Biblical lore and many stories from native peoples. Some of the figures will be familiar, such as a werewolf and a hag who torments children. Others may be new to you, such as the boto encantada, a shapeshifting dolphin who seduces women.
