The Legend of the Cabra Cabriola: An Icon of Our Brazilian Folklore

"With great pleasure and dedication, I brought this representation of the Cabra Cabriola to life, especially for a competition." It's with this passion that we present to you the essence of one of the most intriguing and memorable figures of our Brazilian Folklore.

Who is the Cabra Cabriola?
The Cabra Cabriola is a legendary creature that inhabits popular imagination, especially in rural areas of Brazil. She's described as a ghostly goat, with flaming eyes and menacing horns, who has become a symbol of warning and discipline. Her main characteristic is to terrify disobedient children who don't follow their parents' advice or who insist on wandering alone at night.

The legend says that the Cabra Cabriola appears at the most unexpected times, often in remote places or even inside homes, if the child insists on disobeying rules. With a shrill cry and a penetrating gaze, she pursues the little mischief-makers, threatening to carry them away to an unknown place or, in some versions, to devour them. This folkloric figure, though frightening, has an educational role, serving as a tool for parents to teach about the dangers of disobedience and the importance of staying safe.

It's a legend passed down from generation to generation, mixing the fear of the unknown with popular wisdom, reinforcing the idea that certain attitudes can bring consequences. She is not just a monster, but a moral guardian, part of a set of stories that shaped the childhood of many Brazilians.
