Mapinguari

Also called mapinguari or mapinguari or juma (According to Felipe Ferreira Vander Velden, his name is an abbreviation of the words tupi-guarani "mbae", "pi" and "guari", which means "a thing with a bent [or] crooked leg [or] paw") is a monstrous creature living in the Amazon rainforest. In Brazilian mythology, Mapinguari was once an Amazonian shaman who discovered the key to immortality thousands of years ago.

He angered the gods and was severely punished, turning into a wandering beast for the rest of his life.

Now this name is used in relation to the guardian spirit of the forest from Brazilian folklore. Mapinguari images vary.

 It is sometimes described as a hairy humanoid cyclops, while others claim it looks like a giant ground sloth.

It is a large one-eyed ape-like creature with a mouth on its stomach. According to various descriptions, it has a thick red coat. He has disproportionately long fingers (or claws). There is a terrible smell coming from him, killing on the spot. He's afraid of water.
