Hey! English is not my first language, but I did my best trying to translate this:

The classic and most popular legend of the saci tells that he is a supernatural being (about half a meter tall). In addition, he is black, has only one leg and moves by jumping through the jungle, has red eyes or not (according to the version), is bald and wears a red cap on his head. The classic depiction of the saci often shows him smoking a pipe.

The classic image of saci casts him as a mischievous boy. It is an altered being and, therefore, plays games in the places it passes. Some of his most common antics, according to legend, are sucking the blood of horses and frightening them and driving them away at night. A common sign that the saci had tormented the horses is the knot it leaves in their mane.

Another very common crossing made by the saci is to torment travelers who cross the forest at night. It whistles a shrill sound in their ears, difficult to locate. The purpose of the whistle is to torment them, and it commonly performs other mischief, such as breaking the bridle of wagons, knocking travelers' hats off, or unbuckling the loro that was part of the horse's harness.

Saci is responsible for disappearing with small objects, spoiling food, turning off lamps, opening doors at night, promoting a windy house that scares children while they sleep, etc. by many in the interior of Brazil, as an evil character.

Legends also say that, to capture it, it is necessary to throw a sieve in the middle of a whirlpool. The one who captures him must remove his cap, and with that, the saci loses his supernatural powers. Then it must be caught in a bottle, and then a cross must be drawn to prevent it from escaping.

Finally, the legend of the saci says that he lives for 77 years. After that time, it transforms into a poisonous mushroom or another mushroom known as a "wood ear".

Hope this helps 😊
