Urban Legends About Cucuys
El Chamuco
El Chamuco was a slang term my cousins and I grew up fearing, and the only way we were allowed to refer to the evilest spirit of all.
It seemed El Chamuco came to visit anytime there was temptation from one of us kids to do something wicked.
I imagine him being tall and thin, with reddish and maroon skin. His tail had a triangular and pointy tip that could be quite dangerous. One foot is a chicken’s claw, the other a horse’s hoof. His creepiest feature to me is the horns that adorn his sinister face.
