BASAJUAN

Among the Basque people of north-west Spain, the Basajuan is a trickster spirit in the form of a faun who teaches humans agriculture and the smithing of metals. Living high up in the Pyrenean mountains, he protects flocks of grazing goats and sheep. His wife Basa-Andre combs her long hair and calls to climbers in the mountains so that they fall to their deaths.
