Fox

Toba/Qom (Gran Chaco). English 'Fox' leads; Spanish Zorro in the sources. A trickster culture-figure ranked demigod per the schema (no separate trickster type). Native Toba term not securely attested in the consulted sources, so term left empty. Counterpart to Carancho in the wise/foolish twin-like pairing.
