Historical Background[]

The Chonchon is a mythical bird of the Mapuche mythology (and later also present in the Chilean folk myth and in southern Argentina) that announces misfortune.

The Chonchon has the shape of a human head with feathers and talons. Its ears, which are extremely large, serve as wings for its flight on moonless nights. Chonchons are supposed to be endowed with all the magic powers of the kalku (sorcerors), and can only be seen by other kalkus or by wizards that want this power.
