Aloee (Or Alwee)

in the mythology of the inhabitants of the Andes, was an evil spirit which the Chilians regarded as the originator of all evil and destruction. They also believe that they would live forever if this spirit did not come to take them away in death. They affirm that the white people (Spaniards) brought this evil daemon to their country, and that previous to his coming death was entirely unknown.
