AlicantoThe legend says that the alicanto's wings shine during the night with beautiful, metallic colors, and their eyes emit strange lights; making a luminous flight that exposes those hidden in shade in the desert.

This bird brings luck to any miner who sees it. Alicantos live in small caves between hills containing minerals, and feed on gold and silver.

If the lucky miner follows an alicanto without being caught, they can find silver or gold.
