Who is the Kurupira? * Nature's protector: His main role is to defend the forest from hunters, loggers, and anyone who destroys it through predation. * Appearance: He is usually depicted as a short being (sometimes as a dwarf or a boy). * What stands out most about him is his feet facing backwards (with the heels pointed forward). * His hair is red and is often described as "the color of fire." * Some accounts also describe him as having green teeth, thick hair, or a body covered in warts (depending on the region). * Origin of the name: The term "Kurupira" is of Tupi origin. The most common meaning is "boy's body" (derived from the word "kurumi" meaning "boy" and "pira" meaning "body"), but other interpretations refer to "scabies skin" or "covered in warts" (Kurupir).
