Tokoloshe

The tokoloshe is a short, hairy, dwarf-like creature from Africa. It is an extremely powerful mischievous and evil spirit that is often invisable except to those who it has come to haunt.
he is a naughty little devil who can make things disappear, or cause things to happen and make trouble between people.
It can cause illness, even death I have known people to flee their homes and refuse to re-enter because a tokoloshe came to visit them there.

The penis of the tokoloshe is so long that it has to be slung over his shoulder. Thus sexually well-endowed, the duties of the tokolosh include making love to its witch mistress. In return, it is rewarded with milk and food. In common with European myths and legends concerning familiars, salt must not be added to food offerings for tokoloshes. The witch keeps the tokoloshe docile by cutting the fringe of hair that hangs over its eyes.

The natives live in round houses so the tokoloshe can not hide in the corners and raise their beds by placing the legs of their beds on bricks to keep the occupant of the bed out of reach of the tokoloshe.

Only the strongest n’anga or witch-doctor has the power to banish him from the area, and he is very sly in returning when least expected.
