Aguara

Aguara is a mythological fox in Ava Guaraní and Chané mythology.

In oral traditions, Aguara is suffixed with tunpa ('sacred') and called Aguara-tunpa. Aguara is a trickster, sometimes described as malignant, though it also plays the part of a cultural hero. For example, Aguara is credited with stealing algarroba seeds from the Viscacha, along with capturing Vulture and demanding rubber as a ransom, thus creating rubber for mankind. He is featured in many myths with his rival Tatu-tunpa, a mythological armadillo, whom Aguara ultimately kills. Aguara frequently interacted with human beings, tricking them and having beautiful women bear his children.
