Saci Pererê
Saci Pererê is Brazil's most iconic trickster: a one-legged black youth wearing a red magical cap, smoking a pipe, traveling in dust devils (wind swirls). He plays pranks, hides objects, braids horse manes, and can be captured by throwing a sieve into his whirlwind and stealing his cap. Originates from Tupi-Guarani 'Maty-taperé' merged with African (Quimbanda) and European (folklore) elements.
