Mayantu

Mayantu is a creature from Peruvian legends, with a body similar to a dwarf or elf, and a face like a frog.

According to legend, Mayanta can be found high up in the trees of the Amazon forest. Unlike other spirits and creatures, Mayantu is not evil, and appears to a person only when he needs help.

Therefore, Mayanta is often considered a kind spirit of the forest, which, however, will not help people who came to the forest with bad intentions to destroy the forest or harm its inhabitants.

Kind spirits living in the forest are also not uncommon in the mythology of Europe and Russia. However, among the many myths and legends of the Jungle, this one is one of the rare ones that tells about the good spirit that protects travelers.
