The impeccable billy goat shapeshifter, adorned in maroons and greens, possesses the uncanny ability to transform into any creature, often utilizing this skill to pilfer from unsuspecting villagers, as depicted in the folklore tales of San Martin. Using ixtle cactus fiber, Inocencio expertly crafts the tail and beard of his iconic figures, known as "el nahual". These exquisite creations truly deserve a place in a Mexican Folk Art museum.
