Encerrados

The Encerrados are creatrures from Chilean myth whose name means “captive” or “recluse.” They resemble grey skinned cannibals that kidnap children and deliver them to witches who then sew up the orifices of the kidnapped. They serve Invunche and Chivato, and in some interpretations evolve into these creatures.
