Luison

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Luison sculpture

The Luison (Luisõ in Guaraní; Luisón or Lobizón in Spanish) is one of the seven legendary beasts of Paraguay, and is the seventh and last son of Tau and Kerana. The myth says that in a family with seven male children, the last child will become Luisón.

Myth

[edit]

In the original version of the myth, Luisón was the seventh and last child of Tau and Kerana, and thus was the most accursed. He appeared to be a giant dog, and was said to be extremely ugly, even horrendous looking.

The myth tells that the seventh son in a family will become Luisón when he reaches adolescence.
