Caipora

Here's the Caipora I made for #folcloristas ! A great collab with some wonderful artists.

Caipora has its origin in Tupi-Guarani mythology. She's a pointy-eared indian, who walks naked with a wild pig accompanying her.
She acts as guardian of the forest, protecting the animals. If a hunter consumes beyond what is necessary, she will ensure that he does not have a happy ending. Whether using traps, playing with sounds or changing tracks. Especially if it's on a Friday, Sunday or holy day, which is when she becomes even more merciless.
It is said that if you want the Caipora to spare you, it is necessary to present her with tabaco or drink. But still it is not guaranteed that she will let you go, because Caipora can be treacherous.
