The power to take on the traits of a Pollo Maligno, a malicious chicken-demon from Colombian folklore. Variation of Demon Physiology, Chicken Monster Physiology and Columbian Mythical Creature Physiology.
Also Called[]
- Evil Chicken Physiology
- Malvados Pollos Physiology
Capabilities[]
Users of this ability are either a member of the Pollo Maligno or can mimic the traits of such. The Pollo Maligno are evil spirits from Colombian folklore that haunt lonely roads and make sounds to either distract travelers or drive them insane. They will also attack them with beak and claw or simply scare them away.
People who play cards, joke or drink are also frequently targeted by Pollo Maligno, as the creature despises these things and will actively seek out any who engage in such activities and it has a host of powers at its disposal to make life miserable for those it pursues (as well as potentially end said lives).
It is believed that the only true way to rid oneself of Pollo Maligno once the spirit has set its sights upon you as a victim is to pray to Saint Miguel nine times. Apparently, upon completing these prayers, the divine power of said Saint will drive the evil spirit away and it will not return to pester (or potentially harm) said victim.
