Lobizón

The Lobizón is a legendary creature from the folklore of the Río de la Plata, particularly associated with Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. According to the legend, the seventh son born to a family can transform at night into a creature resembling a large dog or wolf. It is often described as a thin, gaunt, hunched creature with an unsettling appearance, wandering through fields, forests, and lonely roads. Its appearance is also sometimes associated with the maned wolf, a South American canid known for its unusually long legs and distinctive shape.
