==Seven legendary monsters== [[Image:Tau y Kerana.png|thumb|200px|Tau pursued by Kerana]] Kerana, the beautiful daughter of Marangatu, was captured by the personification or spirit of evil called [[Tau (mythology)|Tau]]. Together the two had seven sons who were cursed of the high goddess Arasy, and all but one were born as hideous [[monster]]s. The seven are considered primary figures in Guarani [[mythology]], and while several of the lesser gods or even the original humans are forgotten in the verbal tradition of some areas, these seven were generally maintained in the legends. Some of them are even believed in down to modern times in some rural areas. The seven sons of Tau and Kerana are, in order of their births: *[[Teju Jagua]], god or spirit of caverns and fruits *[[Mbói Tu'ĩ]], god of waterways and aquatic creatures *[[Moñái]], god of the open fields. He was defeated by the sacrifice of Porâsý *[[Jasy Jatere]], god of the [[yerba mate]] plant and also of the [[siesta]], only of the seven to not appear as a monster *[[Kurupi]], god of sexuality and fertility *[[Ao Ao]], god of hills and mountains *[[Luison]] (or ''Luisõ''), god of death and all things related to it
