In Colombia and especially in the Eastern Plains, it is the common name of a freshwater fish. We also call it devil fish, dienton or chambira. It has a very developed denture, which makes it a very voracious and effective hunter. Its scientific name is Hydrolycus scomberoides and belongs to the family Cynodontidae (meaning dog teeth). It is found in the orinoco and Amazon river basins.
