Biography[]
It was living underground, hiding from Kur. This cryptid lives in South American rain forests, and is said to be a living descendant of the giant ground sloth. The old belief of the Mapinguari was that it had backwards feet and a mouth in its belly. The backwards feet could be signs of a dew-claw, or simply a misread track. The extra mouth is actually a pouch. This signals that it is actually a marsupial. Its diet is most likely vegetables, with some meats.
