Human?

This is definitely not going to be a "no", because "Real human?" was passed.

I wonder if the "real" portion of this question was passed

We knew at that point that the "pass" was at least partly because of the "real" portion, because we already knew that this was a semi-legendary figure whose existence is in doubt. However, it is useful to now have the pass on "human" as well.

[Hominidae]

Is this character from Mesoamerica (using the same definition you were using the last time it was brought up)?

Isn't this similar to JECE's question about Mesoamerican mythology? Or are you trying to cover the modern societies in that area too

Whoops, I forgot about JECE's question. Scratch.

unfree guess: La Llorona

It is La Llorona! Congratulations!

[han-shahanshah]

I found it funny you never actually asked “male?”

[han-shahanshah]

And conveniently enough, La Llorona earns a pass on all three of “real”, “human”, and “living”.

It is La Llorona! Congratulations!

Great round! I enjoy the folkloric picks. Had no idea La Llorona had pre-Spanish origins.

It is La Llorona! Congratulations!

Great round! I had a feeling this was it.

[han-shahanshah]

For the record- I would have passed on a pure origins question, but the ones I did answer both came paired with an additional condition that La Llorona satisfied (humanoid; hypothesized serial killer)
