Cuco: a humanoid crocodile
One of the best known Brazilian legends is that of the Cuca, an ugly old woman who appears in the form of a humanoid crocodile and robs disobedient children. The creature sleeps only once every seven years, an element which parents often use to scare children who don’t want to go to sleep, saying that the cuca will get them if they don’t go to bed.
