Allcanto Bird

By Crusader1307

 Chile (South America), is well known for it's many legends. The Alicanto Bird is no exception. From the desert coastal area known as Atacama, The Alicanto is said to be a beautiful (and large), bird creature. At night, their bodies glow and are quite beautiful to behold. They subsist on gold and silver. It is good luck if a Miner sees The Alicanto. This means he will find gold or silver. IF, however a Miner traps an Alicanto (to use continuously), they will lead them to their deaths (usually by falling off a cliff). The legend seems to drift back to around the 12th Century (and is still known today).
