#guarani

Seventh beastly child of Tau and Kerana, and therefor the most vile. It smells of rotten flesh and is sometimes said to eat it as well, and combined with its gaunt hairy appearance it resembles a werewolf, which in function is the same creature in the modern day. He stalks cemeteries in the night where he will chase you. Unlike other werewolves his lycanthropy can be afflicted onto others if he passes through your legs. He only stalks on specific days, usually Monday, Wednesday, and/or Friday. In a similar fashion and, likely from European influence, in the 1900's the seventh son in a string of sons was feared to be destined to turn into a werewolf. In some folklore you can cure one by naming him "Benito" and baptising him in seven different churches of seven different provinces in the changing of a "gurí" (kid) into a "mozo" (teenager/lad).
