Ao Ao - Either described as a monstrous peccary or a bizarre, bipedal sheep-like beast with massive fangs, this savage South American predator is thought to be one of the seven legendary monsters of Guaraní mythology, garnering its name from the repetitive sound it makes when pursuing its prey. It is said to have the ability to reproduce quickly and make more of its kind, giving it the title of a fertility spirit. Strangely, they cannot kill potential victims that climb palm trees.
