Pond Spirit (Guarani)

water-spirit · Paraguay · South America

Not independently attested in Guaraní tradition as a distinct 'pond spirit'. Guaraní water beings include Mbói Tu'ĩ (serpent lord of waterways) and Yacy Yateré (water-dwelling culture hero), but no generic 'pond spirit' entity exists in the seven legendary monsters or ethnographic records. The name appears to be a fabricated categorization.
