Vejigante
The masked character of Puerto Rican festivals, in a bright costume with many horns and an inflated bladder used to playfully chase the crowd. He appears at the Ponce carnival and at the Santiago Apóstol festival in Loíza, with different masks in each place. His origin mixes the devil of Spanish processions with the African heritage of the coast.
Beispiel
If a vejigante comes at you with the bladder in hand, that is the game and the answer is to play along.
