I'm grooving on some of the creepier nasties in the Fiend Folio, particularly the undead.
The huecuva seems to be an attempt to adapt an evil spirit from the mepuche people of Chile and Argentina. In the Fiend Folio, they are shape-changing robed skeletal undead that make you sick and damage you when they touch you.
Not the sexiest of the undead in the Fiend Folio (the coffer corpse, sons of Kyuss, death knight, and penanggalan are all more interesting), but a useful sneaky undead, and worth keeping in my tool kit.
