/There's seven monsters in indigenous guaraní mythology: Teju Jagua, Mbói Tu'i, Moñai, Jasy Jateré, Kurupí, Ao Ao, and finally the seventh son, Lobison./
They are the premature children of Taú, an evil spirit, and his prey, Keraná. As a punishment for his actions, the couple is cursed to birth monsters, all under the seven miseries of humanity: fear, pain, crying lament, hunger, thirst, disease and death. The seventh son, the Lobison, transforms into a beast at night. He is doomed to live feared and alone, and eats not the living, but searches in rural cemeteries for the rotten meat of the dead.
There's a national law in Argentina called "presidential patronage" where the president has to become the godfather of the seventh son of any Argentinian family, most popular folklore in the country being a combination of european catholicism and indigenous beliefs. When baptized, the child gets to be saved from the curse and a welfare pension till he becomes of age.
