Anhanga

Anhanga was an ancient forest or vegetation jinni from the folklore of the Tupi people of Brazil; he guarded animals, field-game, and the forest; any who would hunt an animal with young ran the risk of being struck with fever or madness. Anhanga was described as taking the form of a white deer with red eyes; in more modern times this jinni spirit has been demonized and made out to be an evil entity.
