Lobisomem
The term "Lobisomem" refers to a creature from Brazilian folklore, often translated as "werewolf." According to legend, a person transforms into a Lobisomem during a full moon, typically as a result of a curse or a family lineage. This transformation is said to occur on the night of the full moon, leading to a wild and uncontrollable state.
In Brazilian culture, the Lobisomem is often depicted as a man with wolf-like features, roaming the countryside. The stories surrounding this creature serve as cautionary tales, warning against certain behaviors and emphasizing the importance of family and community ties. Similar legends exist in other cultures, such as werewolves in European folklore.
