**The Alicanto’s Feast: Curupira guides the Alicanto to feed on Amazon gold and silver** --- Legendary Creature - 62/81, 43.4%, 36W 47L --- In the deep, moonlit canyons of the Amazon, the legendary forest guardian Curupira—distinguished by his blazing hair of living fire and backward-facing feet meant to confuse trackers—guides the mythical Alicanto on a radiant night hunt. The colossal, predatory bird features metallic feathers that emit a brilliant, internal golden luminescence, a direct result of its unique diet of precious metals. Swooping low over an exposed cliffside vein, the magnificent creature shatters and devours raw chunks of gold and silver ore, sending dazzling shards and sparkling dust exploding into the night air as it fuels its blinding, majestic flight. (I know, the foot is forwards not backwards - couldn't get AI to render that, try as I might) --- 1- Submission 2- First version but missed the element of the Alicanto feeding on gold and silver

tvm. Appreciate the tip and comment re ranking. On the voting, my view is it is way more luck than judgement, influenced to a degree by what people expect - 2 Medusas in the top 20, Pegasus, unicorns. And can't recall how many in the top 20 mixed in a sexy woman for added appeal. So I don't try to understand and just enjoy the moments when I happen to place well.
