Güijes (also known as Jigüe o Chichiricú) are mythical creatures in Cuban folklore that live in bodies of fresh water.[1] Although their physical description varies between sources, they are often depicted as short-statured, black skinned hominids. Some depictions resemble stereotypical African pygmies, while others resemble monstruous, hairy beasts. They are often naked, or scantly clad in leaves.

Güijes are characterized as mischievous and malicious,[2] or occasionally playful and fun-loving.[3] They can be summoned in many ways including by offering a cigar,[4] circling a holy cieba 12 times at midnight, or by an intentional group of 7 men named Juan (siete Juanes).[5][6]
