The legend of the Headless Mule is a story from Brazilian folklore, also known as "priest's donkey." The Headless Mule is a supernatural creature, a type of horse or mule with fire coming out of its neck instead of a head. She recounts the transformation of a woman into a mule with flames for a head, as punishment for intimate involvement with Church priests. The curse occurs on a night from Thursday to Friday, and the Headless Mule remains in that state until the rooster crows. During the transformation, the mule takes on a terrifying form, attacking anyone who crosses its path with powerful kicks. There are variations to the story, but in general, the legend highlights the punishment and terror associated with breaking religious vows and illicit involvement.
