Keraná

The mortal mother of the seven monsters, daughter of the pious Marangatú (Colmán 1929; González Torres). Wired as spouse of Tau and mother of the seven. Her father Marangatú is a minor pious-ancestor figure, noted but not authored as a stub. SOLITARY (as to ancestry within batch): her only attested parent (Marangatú) is not authored; reason — a peripheral folk-ancestor with no independent mythic profile.
