Patasola

thumb|Patasola literal translation is Pata=foot & Sola=single, only The Patasola or "single leg" is one of many legends in Colombian folklore about female monsters from the jungle, appearing to male hunters or loggers in the middle of the wilderness when they think about women. The Patasola appears in the form of a beautiful seductive woman, often in the likeness of a loved one, who lures a man away from his companions deep into the jungle. There, the Patasola reveals her true, hideous appearance as a one-legged creature with ferocious vampire-like lust for human flesh and blood, attacking and devouring the flesh or sucking the blood of her victims.

==Location== According to popular belief, she inhabits mountain ranges, virgin forests, and other heavily wooded or jungle-like areas. At the edges of these places and primarily at night, she lures male hunters, loggers, miners, millers, and animal herders. She also interferes with their daily activities, such as blocking shortcuts through the jungle, disorienting hunters, and throwing hunting dogs off the scent of their game. The patasola is usually regarded as protective of nature and the forest animals and unforgiving when humans enter their domain to alter or destroy them.
