The Tunda ((スペイン語:La Tunda)) is a myth of the Pacific coastal region of Colombia and Ecuador,〔(Leyenda “La Tunda” )〕 and particularly in the Afro-American community of the Chocó department,〔(La Leyenda de La Tunda )〕 about a shapeshifting entity, resembling a human female, that lures people into the forests and keeps them there. It is capable to change its shape to appear in the form of a loved one, as in the likeness of a child's mother, to would lure its victims into the forest and feed it with shrimps (''camarones peneídos'') to it docile. This is called ''entundamiento'' and a person in this state is ''entundado(a)''.〔González Cortés, Flover. 2001. ''Fantasmagorías. Mitos y leyendas del Pacífico colombiano''〕 Her shapeshifting abilities are said to be imperfect, as this ''doppelgänger'' of sorts would always have a wooden leg in the shape of a ''molinillo'', or wooden kitchen utensil used to stir hot drinks such as chocolate or ''aguapanela''. The monster, however, is very cunning when trying to hide this defect from its would-be victims.〔Puertas Arias, Esperanza. 2000. ''Del Pacífico colombiano, La Tunda: Mito y realidad. Sus funciones sociales''〕 In other versions, it appears to male loggers or hunters working deep into the jungle as a beautiful woman that tries to lure a man away, so it can reveal its hideous nature and suck his blood or devour him as a wild animal. ==See also== *Sayona *Patasola *Deer Woman *Sihuanaba *Baobhan sith *Leanan sídhe *Huldra *Soucouyant *cliodhna *Vengeful ghost 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tunda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
