CORZA BRANCA - WHITE DEER

In the castle of Ponte de Doiras, in the parish of Vilarello, municipality of Cervantes (Lugo), lived a couple with two children, a brother and a sister.
One day, the sister went to the mountains, and as night fell, the girl did not return.Concerned, the parents ordered a search to find her, but despite their
efforts, they couldn't locate her. Everyone gave up on the search, but the brother persisted. One day in the mountains, he encountered a white deer and killed it.
Unable to carry it home alone, he cut off one of its front legs. Upon returning to the castle and attempting to retrieve the leg from the sack,
he bitterly discovered that it was his sister's hand. He recognized it by a ring she wore. Distraught, he went to the mountains, where he saw the deer had transformed back into
the maiden's body.

A DONICELA - THE WEASEL

It is believed that the bite of the donicela is deadly, as it stores poison in its teeth. Even its breath is harmful. Here are some popular sayings about this creature.
Keep in mind these are translated somewhat literally, hence the weirdness of some of them:

"If bitten by the donicela, seek a shirt for the ground."
"If bitten by the donicela, seek wine and seek a candle, for tomorrow they will give you earth." - meaning death awaits you.
"If stung by a scorpion, seek wax and bread, and if bitten by the donicela, search even more quickly."
"When Donicelas bite, the bells toll."
"If stung by a little ladybug, head straight to the little box; and if stung by a scorpion, head for the coffin.
"You would drink from the fountain with pleasure, if it weren't for the donicela."

It was used in traditional medicine to cure epilepsy by drinking its blood. Also, eating its cooked flesh was believed to cure certain illnesses. Other beliefs
suggest that feeding the heart or tongue of this animal to a dog will make it lose its voice and never bark again. Or that a poultice made with the ashes of the donicela
cures headaches and cataracts (as cited by Marcial Valladares). It is believed that the gaze of the donicela has a hypnotic character, and it can transmit the evil eye
(although this can be avoided if the person sees it first before the donicela looks at them).
The donicela is capable of healing from a snakebite. To do so, it seeks a herb called "saramago," rubbing against it and eating some leaves, thus eliminating the poison completely.
