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]
Scholar Lucas Fernández de Piedrahita has provided the little information about Chibafruime.
