 Tunda

The Tunda () is a myth of the Pacific coastal region of Colombia and Ecuador, and particularly in the Afro-American community of the Chocó department, about a shapeshifting entity, resembling a human female, that lures people into the forests and keeps them there.It is capable of changing its shape to appear in the form of a loved one, as in the likeness of a child's mother, to lure its victims into the forest and feed them with shrimps ("camarones peneídos") to keep them docile.
