serenay

A term for a monster or a boogeyman. The serenay is described as having mangled eyes, a head shaped like the tip of a penis, an asshole for a mouth, and a body like a pubic louse. He is so terrifying that Freddy Krueger runs from him, the devil surrendered his throne to him, and even the Baca is afraid. In the neighborhood of Second Street, pregnant women move away because looking at his face is believed to curse the pregnancy or cause a miscarriage. (A Baca is a demonic, shapeshifting creature from Dominican folklore made through a pact with the devil).

The people on the street: Your damn mother you nobody, you mutant ass-sucker, you suck your own dick you damn cross-eyed freak.
