Catalan legendary creature
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
the Pesanta (Catalan pronunciation: [pəˈzantə]) is a creature Catalan legend and popular culture. It is generally in the shape of an enormous dog or cat and 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]
