[Folklore] The Alan lives in a house made of gold. She is half human, and also seems to have one of the habits of the sloth for she likes to hang head down from the branch of a tree. She is often mischievous, though not unfriendly to people. Sometimes the Alan appears in folktales as the mother of a human child.
