Translated from their page:
"A little black-skinned man, small as a child, wearing red shorts and a red cap on his head. He only has one leg, but moves about by jumping and the absence of the other leg does him no harm. His mouth brings a mischievous smile as he smokes a clay pipe.
This is a Saci Pererê, a kind of perky goblin, guardian of the woods, birds and children, who spends his days and nights doing mischiefs of all kinds, like knotting the mane of horses, scaring cows to sour milk, hiding objects and playing tricks and spreading chaos in many other ways.
Sacis are born from bamboo shoots and live 77 years. They can put on weight or grow a beard, but they usually do not and usually maintain a youthful, almost childlike aspect. They often go around in groups of the same species, but it is not uncommon for them to interact with other creatures and make friends. Pererê is an artful, playful and even benevolent being towards those who do no harm and bring him gifts. It is also common for people to try to make deals with these creatures.
They are more inclined to play tricks without malice, but they are very vindictive towards those who harm them or their protégés. Pererês usually hate conflicts and are fearful when it comes to fighting. Only in the latter case do they appeal to violence. They rarely carry weapons, except for mischief, such as slings. It is known that their kick is very powerful and that when they are in groups, they tend to come up with coordinated strategies. A Saci always has a escaped plan.
There are reports of female pererês, but they are extremely rare, almost nonexistent. It is also known that sacis do not leave corpses. When a saci dies, its body disappears and it turns into a wooden ear mushroom (Pycnoporus sanguineus).
