Characters of brazilian folklore

Do you know of any characters of from Brazilian folklore? I know of a few ones, like the "saci", the "boitatá", and the "boto". But, since I was a little boy, the character I like most is the "Curupira". This character is a sneaking figure that lives in the forest and haunts people that disrespect nature, greenery, and savage wild animals. He is depicted like (or as) a dwarf with long hair and the feet backward backwards feet. When someone disappears into the forest, folk people* say that "Curupira" did it.

*Who are the folk people? 

Interesting, I am not familiar with Brazilian folklore. Curupira sounds like a neat character.
