There are countless movies about dragons, unicorns, leprechauns, and Sasquatches, but none

of them can hold a candle to these five mythical West African creatures that deserve their

own fantasy movies.

This is Two Minute Black History, what you didn't learn in school.

This creature may look like a firefly, but ads.

Is really a blood-sucking vampire.

It loves children's blood, and uses its small size to sneak into houses to drain a household's

infants' dry.

King Kinnanka is a swamp dragon that looks like a giant reptile, except its spits fire.

Some claim to have seen it in real life, but that's unlikely.

If it doesn't eat you or drag you into the swamp, you're still not safe.

Anyone who sees one promptly dies.

The Abatta may look like a donkey, but it has two huge horns.

Don't fear, because these horns can heal diseases.

And then there's Djengol.

She's a sea-based beauty with a big curly afro and cat teeth, but she's not a mermaid.

She's actually a spirit guy.

She moves between the spirit and the human world, helping make our lives easier.

Do you have a friend that hums during meals?

That's Rampo.

This bizarre creature, part badger, bear, hair, human and skeleton, feeds on human flesh,

hum a cartoon as it peace.
