Dangerous dwarf-like creatures from the mythology of the Mongo people of the Congo. They are believed to be the restless spirits of the dead, dwelling in the dense rainforest and guarding the treasures of the forest. Covered in grass instead of hair and possessing snouts and mouths that can open wide enough to swallow a human whole, they use magic bells to enchant their prey.
