Aguara is a mythological fox in Ava Guaraní and Chané mythology.

In oral traditions, Aguara is suffixed with tunpa ('sacred') and called Aguara-tunpa.[1] Aguara is a trickster, sometimes described as malignant,[2] though it also plays the part of a cultural hero. For example, Aguara is credited with stealing algarroba seeds from the Viscacha, along with capturing Vulture and demanding rubber as a ransom, thus creating rubber for mankind. He is featured in many myths with his rival Tatu-tunpa, a mythological armadillo, whom Aguara ultimately kills.[1][3] Aguara frequently interacted with human beings, tricking them and having beautiful women bear his children.[4]

Aguara is associated with the constellation Scorpius, and the "bend" of the scorpion's tail was said to be his farming corral.[5]
