The first alebrijes, along with use of the term, originated with Pedro Linares. In the 1930s, Linares fell very ill and while he was in bed, unconscious, Linares dreamt of a strange place resembling a forest. There, he saw trees, animals, rocks, clouds that suddenly turned into something strange, some kind of animals, but, unknown animals. He saw a donkey with butterfly wings, a rooster with bull horns, a lion with an eagle head, and all of them were shouting one word, \"Alebrijes\". Upon recovery, he began recreating the creatures he saw in cardboard and papier-mâché and called them Alebrijes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe paper mache-to-wood carving adaptation of the craft has since spread. The success of the craft, however, has led to the depletion of the native copal trees.
