I'm reading South American indigenous folk stories.
In the "fire theft" legends of the Mocoví the villain who hogs all the fire is the viscacha.

Usually in these legends the fire-hogging creature - that a clever thief has to outwit - is a giant, or a monster, or a predator of some sort.

But the Mocoví decided to go with this guy.
(And honestly, he looks so done with everyone's BS, I can see why)
