Se llama el coco con~o this is soo wrong u have no idea just cut the crap
There have been some vague descriptions of the cuco. He sometimes depicted as an eerie cloked figure, as seen in a painting by Francisco de Goya.Where I am from, He is described as a shadowy human figure with glistening sharp teeth and a piercing stare. The latter description is most likely a racist caricture of WHITES, much like the Filipino capre
What if the word is of south american, pre-columbian origin? Once I read about the quechua myth of the ' ukuku', a word related to the Uku Pacha or underworld. The creature is still used today to scare children in andean villages. It's also another term for 'bear' in quechua (the other term being ukumari). And according to certain investigations, bears in andean pottery are scarce (even when bears were common and still exist today in Peru) because they were believed to be related to the Uku Pacha. I'll investgate more on this (Because we'll need proof on this), but who knows? Stories from the ukuku and the cuco are too similar, and the myth could have come from there, heard by spanish conquistadores during the conquest or during the colony, and carried to all their other colonies and to their own country.
(In quechua, u and o vowels sound the same, so their 'u' can be heard as 'o' to us sometimes. If 'cuco' or 'coco' came from 'ukuku', its quechua origin would explain the variants in its name from place to place) -- Taikobo

CalumH93 your reversion does not have any explanation. The information added has sources and if you read all the other sources added it goes in accordance with what was written. If you have any other oppinion or knowledge please add to this page otherwise you make those reversions a lost of time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.214.30.234 ( talk) 15:02, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
Could someone change the title to Coco. I only ask this because there is already a tradition around the cuco (Cuckoo), festa do cuco-mor [1], and two traditions with the same name from the same region gets confusing 46.50.1.28 ( talk) 13:36, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
IP user 89.214.88.248 has reverted to an older version of the article with the edit summary "Reverting , makes no sensense, discuss on the web page if you do not agree". I am not sure which aspects of the article the IP user is referring to, but the largest effect of the reversion has been to restore a whole host of grammatical errors, bad English, and bad text formatting by undoing a large number of basic copyedits that had been made. Personally I have no problem with incorporating whatever specific content changes the IP user thinks need to be made, but I think the article's improved legibility and corrected formatting ought to be preserved. The IP user is invited to clarify exactly which parts made "no sense". Meanwhile, I plan to restore the basic copyedits that had been made while trying to respect and maintain the content added / re-added by the IP user. AtticusX ( talk) 21:45, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
While "calabaza" is translated as "pumpkin," the type of pumpkin in the Jack-O-Lantern picture is not necessarily representative of the pumpkins in Iberia/Lusitania in pre-Roman times.
Old world pumpkins do not necessarily look like the North American Halloween type of pumpkin as the word is used for a larger variety of squash or gourds. Although, after the introduction of New World pumpkins most of the European varieties became hybridized.
Here are various types of "calabazas" - pumpkins:

I think this is super helpful, but I need more detail. I'm relying on this article, but it's just chopped up. I can't be the only one complaining. And a title change please. It's a little bit off when you have "Coco." That's a whole Disney movie! I mean, cmon. Then the "what he looks like." I understand he eats kids, but he has a pretty freaky appearance to most. (Not me, but my friends think so. They don't have an account, though, so I put this up for them.) Thank you for your time and consideration.
