According to Jacinto de la Serna’s Treatise on idolatries, superstitions, and customs, there are in Mexico supernatural beings that walk rural roads or city streets at night. A common man, but capable of taking the shape of some animal, perhaps a big black dog with ravenous fiery eyes, a talking snake, or a donkey without ears or tail.
