A one-eyed alligator apparently eats a woman named for this concept whose supernatural “Partner” helps her turn La Barquereña (“bar-kay-RAIN-yuh”) into El Miedo (“mee-YAY-doh”).

The lawyer Santos Lizardo reclaims the hacienda (“ahss-YEN-duh”) Altamira from a woman named for this concept in a novel by Rómulo Gallegos (“gah-YAY-gohss”). A caudillo(“cow-DEE-yo”) called the “tiger of the plains” personifies this concept alongside his ally Juan Manuel de Rosas. For 10 points, gauchos represent what concept in Domingo F.
