Cegua (Modern Mythology)/Apex Predator GX

## Summary

**La Cegua** or **La Segua**is a recurrent legend from the folklore of many central american countries, primarily Nicaragua and Costa Rica. There are many versions of the history of this legend, but the most prominent one is this one (Source):

*She appears in a white corn leaf dress with a veil covering her face. It is said that she has long black hair covering her face. She is also said to wear a Guarumo Tree leaf dress and her voice is made rasping and hollow by plantain leaves covering her teeth.*

*Others say that her face is ghostly and that her eyes stare into her victim’s souls. Still another version says that she is believed to have the face of a horse. Nicaraguans also say that she walks through the woods and back roads naked, waiting for her next victim. Men are drawn to her fantastical silhouette. The words she speaks to these men are so horrific that the victim goes insane instantaneously – something from which they never recover.*
