In this episode, the Gentleman and the Disturbed Southern Belle delve into the fascinating world of Brazilian cryptids. They begin with the Curapira, known as the forest demon, a protector of fauna and flora with fiery hair and backward-facing feet to trick predators.
The discussion then moves to the Kooka, a witch with the head of an alligator who preys on disobedient children. This is followed by the controversial legend of the Headless Mule, a tale with sexist undertones involving a woman cursed for breaking her chastity vows with a priest.
Next, they explore Iara, the River Mother, a siren who lures men to their doom with her mesmerizing songs. They also touch on the Kipora, a variant of the Curapira, with the added ability to control and resurrect injured wildlife.
The duo then discusses the Bratador, a wicked man turned into a zombie-like creature rejected by both God and the devil, and the Mapinguari, a giant sloth-like being cursed for seeking immortality.
Finally, they explore the Boa Yuna, a monstrous serpent born of a wicked woman and a demon, believed to have created the Amazon River. The episode concludes with a teaser for the next episode on the Aztecs and their rituals, with a trigger warning for sensitive listeners.
