		Pombero is a mischievous imp of the night who roams the Paraguayan countryside.
		I didn't have any tobacco leaves (the Pombero antidote comes from the time when every farmer grew his own cigarettes), but Marlboros arrived in Paraguay a few years ago and are sold at the despensas (corner stores).
		Pombero never came back, luckily, but for some reason Zuni's husband Don Luciano suddenly took up smoking Marlboros.

	Pombero
		El pombero es el personaje mas comentado y temido y su vigencia es permanente en todo el Paraguay, muy especialmente en la campaña.
		A los niños les está prohibido decir pombero, sobre todo por la noche, hora propicia en que él vigila, escucha y escudriña con ojos avizores, mimetizado en cualquier rincón oscuro.
		El pombero o kuarahy jara es un hombre alto y delgado, que llevan un grandísimo sombrero de paja, y una caña en la mano, y así recorre los bosques a la siesta, cuidando de todos los pájaros, pues es su protector.

	Pombero
		Pombero's original name in the Guaraní language is Kuarahy Jára, literally "Owner of the Sun", in spite of the fact that he is said to be a primarily nocturnal creature.
		Although accounts of the Pombero's appearance and nature vary slightly from one community to the next, he is usually described as being short and ugly, with hairy hands and feet.
		The Pombero is also often accused of impregnating single women either by a mere touch of his hand or by raping them in the night, and it is said that babies who are born ugly and hairy are likely the result of a visit from the Pombero.

		Mario Obregon, a neighbor of the young woman attacked by the alleged Pombero, witnessed her falling to the ground and being dragged along, screaming that someone was pulling her feet and trying to drag her away.
		The Pombero reappeared this time as an explanation to what happened on Thursday night to a local resident, Lili Medero (NOTE--name given as Liliana Nieves in other sources--SC) who was interned in a medical facility with strong, disfiguring blows to her face.
		It is worth noting--regardless of whether the Pombero was involved or not, or that it may be a case of domestic violence--that the injured young woman is poor, unwed and the mother of a numerous family.

		The shirt appears to be targeted towards the lucrative US travel and sports apparel market, where insect repellent clothing, coated with the chrysanthemum-derived compound permethrin and first developed by the US military, has long been in use.
		Pombero entered the garment arena only three years ago to supply various US brands, but now hopes to market articles under its own name.
		It also appears to dabble in adventure- and eco-tourism, activities that might generate foreign exchange and local income, but are necessarily limited if their claims to environment-friendliness is to be maintained.

	Pombero
		Pombero es un duende antropomorfo, un hombre, feo, más bien bajo, fornido, retacón, moreno, con manos y pies velludos, cuyas pisadas no se sienten, talvez un indio Guaikurú.
		Se cuenta, también, de jóvenes raptadas por Pombero, que después de saciarse en ellas, las deja sueltas, a veces embarazadas.
		Nuestra gente [gram: la gente paraguaya] se guarda muy bien de pronunciar el nombre del Pombero, particularmente en las reuniones nocturnas, y a él se refieren como Karai-pyhare, "el señor de la noche", porque puede aparecer cuando se lo nombra, como acudiendo a un llamado.

		El POMBERO creo a mi parecer, es un ser demoníaco, que cuando no le cumplen lo que se le prometió puede llegar a matar a una persona de la peor manera.
		Además cuando se hace un pacto con él generalmente cuando se le pide riquezas, él cumple en pocos días lo que se le pide de una manera impresionante e increíble.

	Kurupi at AllExperts
		His penis is said to be prehensile, and owing to its length he is supposed to be able to extend it through doors, windows, or other openings in a home and impregnate a sleeping woman without even having to enter the house.
		Together with the Pombero, Kurupi was a scapegoat used by adulterous women to avoid the wrath of their husbands, or by single women to explain their pregnanices.
		In some cases, Kurupi is blamed with the disappearance of young women, supposedly stealing them away to his home in the forest for use in satiating his libidinous desires.

		It was the incubus figure I had feared from the moment I knew what it meant to suffer from fugue states, and to have strange, unmappable lacunae in my memory and my consciousness.
		According to indigenous Guarani legend, the Pombero came into darkened, shuttered sleeping rooms during the heat of the afternoon, during siesta.
		If you were a woman who had imposed herself on this culture, a woman with alien and unrealistic dreams, you would wake up deceived, defrauded, and aware that something had happened to you, but not sure of what that might have been.

		No se que hora seria pero seguro que ya estaba durmiendo hacia un par de horas, de golpe empiezo a sentir como una risotada de chico enloquecido y empiezan a darle palasos a la carpa, por el piso se levantaba como si le dieran con un palo grandote, por el techo, por los costados...

	Guaraní Culture
		Pombero is a anthropomorphic fairy, a man, ugly and short, hefty and dark, with hairy hands and feet, whose footsteps aren't heard.
		If his sympathy is won, Pombero takes care of the house of the person who left him gifts, and of his animals and possessions.
		If you talk bad about Pombero, or don't leave him gifts, he can take revenge, persecuting the members of the house; he frightens those who talk bad about him, or through a simple touch, he leaves them mute (ñe'engu), crazy (tavy), or shaking (marachachâ).

		El Pombero es el más popular de los duendes de la región guaraní.
		Otras versiones, que hoy parecen predominar, lo pintan como un petiso gordo, negro, peludo y feo; también como un enano fornido que camina con los pies hacia atrás, aunque con esta caracterización su figura tiende a fundirse a la del Yasí-Yateré.
