Átahsaia (Cannibal Demon)
Átahsaia is a giant cannibal demon in Zuni mythology who terrorized the people. He is described as a huge, monstrous being with burning eyes, coarse hair like a buffalo's mane, scales of black and white on his arms and legs, and a mouth filled with crooked yellow fangs. He carried a bow and a great flint knife. Átahsaia would descend from the mountains to raid villages, carrying off victims in a large basket on his back to his cave in the red-gray cliffs.
