'''Cadejo''' ({{IPAc-en|k|@|'|d|eI|h|oU}}) is a small dark surface feature on [[Astronomy:Pluto|Pluto]] near [[Astronomy:Voyager Terra|Voyager Terra]]. It is unofficially named after El Cadejo, a hellish spirit from Central American folklore which appears in the form of a large dog-like creature with burning red eyes. The feature was photographed by the [[Astronomy:New Horizons|''New Horizons'' probe]] during the July 2015 flyby of the dwarf planet.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Chang|first1=Kenneth|title=NASA’s New Horizons Spacecraft Completes Flyby of Pluto|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/15/science/space/nasa-new-horizons-spacecraft-reaches-pluto.html|publisher={{wipe|The New York Times}}|accessdate=14 July 2015|date=14 July 2015}}</ref>
