The Cadejo is a mythical creature from Central American and Mexican folklore, known for its dual nature as both a protective spirit and a malevolent entity. According to legend, there are two types of Cadejo: the benevolent white Cadejo and the malevolent black Cadejo.

The white Cadejo is said to protect travelers, guiding them safely through the night and warding off danger. It is often depicted as a large, white dog with glowing eyes and an ethereal presence. Encountering a white Cadejo is considered a blessing, as it ensures protection from harm.

In contrast, the black Cadejo is a fearsome creature that brings misfortune and terror. Described as a sinister black dog with red, burning eyes and sharp fangs, the black Cadejo stalks its victims, causing them to become lost, confused, or even driven to madness. It is believed to attack those who wander alone at night or engage in immoral behavior.

The tale of the Cadejo serves as a cautionary story, warning people to stay on the right path and to be wary of the dangers that lurk in the darkness. The legend of the Cadejo continues to be a powerful part of Central American and Mexican folklore, embodying themes of protection, danger, and the supernatural.
