La Patasola is one of the many Colombian myths and female folklore beings from the jungle. It appears in the form of a beautiful and
seductive woman who lures a man away from his companions deep into the jungle. There, the Patasola reveals her true, hideous
appearance as a one-legged creature with a lust for human flesh and blood. According to others, it attracts men by screaming for help
before transforming into a murderous, blood-sucking beast. Despite being savage, she is believed to be a protector of plants, rivers,
trees, and animals, thus she is unforgiving when humans enter her territory with the intent of destroying it.
