Chibafruime, also spelled as Chibrafruime, was a minor deity in the religion of the Muisca. [1] It was the god of war. [2] [3] Mythological tales about Chibafruime have been noted in Bojacá, Bosa, Guatavita, Turmequé and Cajicá. [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
Little is known about Chibafruime and his appearance, which may have been in the shape of a jaguar. The Muisca were more traders than warriors. [10] Their negotiation skills were admired by the conquistadors who made first contact with the Muisca. [11]
