The Caballucos del Diablu (Cantabrian for "(little) horses of the devil") is a myth from the Cantabrian mythology, a region of northern Spain.[1] On St John's Eve (June 23), when the people make bonfires to purify their souls, giant dragonflies appear amongst the ashes. These dragonflies -the Caballucos- are the souls of sinners, and they come to release their fury over a year's worth of sins with fire and terrifying screams. The Caballucos del Diablu appear in a variety of colors, each one being the soul of a different sinner. The red horse was a man who lent money to farmers and then used dirty tricks to steal their properties; the white one a miller who stole many thousands of dollars from his master; the black one a hermit who played tricks on people; the yellow one a corrupt judge; the blue one an innkeeper; and the orange one a child who abused his parents.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite book | last = Llano Merino | first = Manuel | authorlink = Manuel Llano Merino | title = Mitos y Leyendas de Cantabria | publisher = Ediciones de Librería Estvdio | location = Santander | year = 2001 | pages = 141–143 | language = Cantabrian, Spanish | isbn = 84-95742-01-2 }} {{Cantabrian mythology}} 1 : Cantabrian legendary creatures |
