Description:Ashina is a powerful witch who eats her own children. Eventually her husband leaves her because of this practice. She leaves one daughter uneaten so that she can eat her grandchildren. Eventually her son in law gets fed up with this. The community where Ashina lives gathers together to devise a way to kill her. They set a mud trap for her. When she falls into the mud trap, she turns into an armadillo. Her daughter flies up into heaven. Her diabolical experiments in her house, which included breeding mosquitos have no one to tend over them and they are spread all around the world.Ashina is a powerful witch who eats her own children.

The Maina are people who live in a civilization beneath the ground. The Maina killed the Chácobo by shooting them through the testicles or the clitoris for men and women respectively using the tiopi spade. After this they took them into their underground civilization and ate them. The Maina considered the Chácobo yahua (white lipped peccary) and hunted them as such. The story of the Maina is about how the Chácobo eventually defeated the Maina by finding the entrances to their underground villages and smoking them to death with fire.
