| Anhanga:
Anhanga is the DEVIL of the Amazon Indians of Brazil. According to the
myth, Anhanga is a formless shape-shifter who can assume many identities to
deceive and torment humans. Similar to the Norse god LOKI, Anhanga is
a prankster who delights in tricking humans. He is most notorious for
stealing children. The dark god is also adept at filling people's
minds with horrific visions of the supernatural, including frightening
images of a horrific afterlife. (o)
