Description

Furufuhue is a strange representative of the myth, originally from the southern region of Argentina and Chile. He explains the strong Patagonian winds by creating a huge and mysterious creature resembling a cross between an eagle and a fish. 

This bird is the size of a Mapuche hut, and its body is covered with shiny scales instead of feathers. The creature is rarely seen, but its song can be heard at a great distance "even all over the world."
