noun
Cambiaformas
In pre-modern European mythology, an infant that was secretly exchanged for a mother's own baby by an evil creature. (In British, Irish and Scandinavian mythology the exchanged infants were thought to be those of fairies, sprites or trolls; in other places, they were ascribed to witches, devils, or demons.)
Las viejas contaban historias de que el hijo de un vecino era un cambiaformas, afirmando que el bebé, enfermizo y extraño, había sido intercambiado por un niño de hadas en la cuna.
