Rabbit (Mapuche)
The record describes the Peuchen (Piuchén), not a rabbit. Peuchen is a Mapuche/Chilote vampiric shapeshifter: a winged serpent that drains blood from livestock and humans, whistles to stun prey, and transforms into birds, bats, or humans. Only the machi (shaman) can defeat it. The 'rabbit' label is a complete misattribution.
