The Chonchon is a Chilean/Argentinian folkloric creature. It takes the form of a human(typically masculine) head, typically with feathers in place of hair, and immense ears that serve as wings. It has a cry, sometimes given as "too-ay too-ay too-ay" and is vampiric by diet. It is the transformational form of a Kalku, which is a malign regional shaman/warlock figure.
Chon chon is also Mexican slang for sex; increasingly used in reference to anal sex. It is also Armenian slang for a little boy's penis.
Allgegedly a female healer shaman from the region could send her familiar to defeat a Chonchon. In order to repel chonchons, several methods are recommended. These include drawing a Solomon’s seal on the ground, laying out a waistcoat in a specified manner, or reciting certain phrases or hymns such as the Magnificat, the Doce Palabras Redobladas, “Saint Cyprian goes up, Saint Cyprian goes down, Saint Cyprian goes to the mountain, Saint Cyprian goes to the valley”, or “Jesus goes ahead, follow him behind”. Doing any of these actions forces the chonchón to leave, or even fall to the ground where it can be destroyed. If the headless body of a chonchón sorcerer is found, turning it onto its stomach prevents the chonchón from returning to it. Finally, a more humane means of dealing with a chonchón is to yell “Come back tomorrow for some salt!” The next day, the chonchon in its human guise will show up and sheepishly request the promised salt. Except perhaps for the last method, most interference with the ways of chonchons will eventually incur the revenge of the chonchon or its friends.

Being another form of flying head monster, this bears some similarity with the penanggalan.
