Pishtaco
Pishtaco (Quechua: ñakaq; Aymara: kharisiri) is an Andean fat-extracting bogeyman from Peru and Bolivia. Originating in 16th-century conquistador corpse-fat practices, it evolved through priest rumors (nakaq), hacendados, and modern machinery-greasing variants. Victims are waylaid; fat harvested for bells, cosmetics, lubricants. Protection: wayruru beans, garlic, chancaca.
