Se dice que Oaxaca alebrije la tradición desciende directamente del artesano de papel maché de la Ciudad de México, Pedro Linares (1906-1992). Cuando tenía 30 años, enfermó gravemente y cayó en una especie de coma. Mientras estaba inconsciente, tuvo un sueño fantástico. Estaba atrapado entre la tierra de los vivos y los muertos; el lugar parecía un bosque y estaba poblado de criaturas con partes del cuerpo pertenecientes a diferentes animales. Los seres pronunciaron repetidamente la palabra. alebrije, y cuando Linares despertó, recreó estas figuras en colores vivos utilizando técnicas de papel maché y las llamó alebrije . Su trabajo se hizo famoso y eventualmente influyó en los artesanos del estado de Oaxaca quienes decidieron elaborar alebrije utilizando métodos tradicionales de tallado en madera y según la visión del mundo de esa región.
