During fever-induced dreams, a Mexican man named Pedro Linares saw fantastical, otherworldly creatures. They were all saying the meaningless word, "Alebrijes" (al-ay-BREE-hays). After he recovered from his illness, he brought the Alebrijes to life in papier-mâché form. His brightly colored fantasy creatures caught the attention of some prominent Mexican artists in the 1930's, and before long the Albebrijes could be found in almost any Mexican souvenir shop.
