The Tupi tribe of Brazil valued the importance of the jungle and forests, which possess their own creature / deity, Curupira. This powerful being is small in size but has great strength and speed, it is often described as red-haired and with large ears and one of its most distinctive characteristics is the fact that it has inverted feet. He is a protector of trees, animals and nature, often causing those who invade and damage him to lose their way back and forget their way back. Due to the reversal of his feet, his footprints are also extremely confusing, making it difficult to find him.
