Pesanta
Catalan legendary creature
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Catalan legend and popular culture, the Pesanta (Catalan pronunciation: [pəˈzantə]) is an enormous dog or cat that goes into people's houses in the night and steps on their chests, making it difficult for them to breathe and causing nightmares.[1] The Pesanta is similar to the Portuguese Pisadeira. It is black and hairy, with steel paws, but its paws have holes in them.[2][3]
