    • 1915, Julio Vicuña Cifuentes, Mitos y Supersticiones Recogidos de la Tradición Oral Chilena, page 66:
      El Huallepén o Guallipén [] es un animal anfibio muy bravo, fuerte, y huraño , de no más de ochenta centímetros de alto, con cabeza de ternero y cuerpo de oveja. Cubre sorpresivamente a las ovejas y a las vacas, y engendra en ellas hijos de la misma especie de las madres, pero que se señalan por tener torcidas las patas y a veces también el hocico.
