Lore

Yacumama, the "Mother of Water," is an enormous anaconda in Amazonian folklore, a giant serpent that creates whirlpools with its mouth to suck victims into the river. Dwelling in river bends with a horned head, she guards waters and embodies the power and danger of the Amazon. In myths, Yacumama protects aquatic life and punishes disrespect, symbolizing the life-giving yet deadly nature of rivers. She represents the spiritual force of water and the need for reverence in indigenous Amazonian tradition.
