* The Brazilian fantasy novel ''Acalantopia - Proezas e Desventuras em um Brazil Encantado'' ("Acalantopia - Prowess and Misadventure in an Enchanted Brazil") centers around a couple that tries to catalogue several magical beings and items inspired by folkloric Brazilian nursery rhymes, sayings, lullabies and the like [[SpeculativeBiology scientifically, giving them formal nomenclatures and descriptions]]. Thus, several of those beings come from popular tongue-twisters -- for instance, the mafagafo is a fictional, undescribed animal in folklore whose meaningless name is used to make neologisms in tongue-twisters with many different variations, such as this:
-->Um ninho de mafagafos\\
Tinha sete mafagafinhos\\
Quem desmafagafar o ninho de mafagafos\\
Bom desmafagafador será.[[labelnote:Translation]]A nest of mafagafos had seven little mafagafos. Whoever "unmafagafoes" the nest of mafagafos, a good "unmafagafoer" will be[[/labelnote]]
::Since the verses consistently mention a nest, the popular idea of mafagafos is that they are birdlike; ergo, the novel illustrates them as cat-sized griffins, and so forth.
