Hello there,

I am a Black American, who is currently in the process of creating a comic book series. A proprietary work that respectfully focuses on various traditional cultures of Africa. Here's a little more info on it, in another thread I created.

(It's hard to talk about without giving away too many details, for copyright purposes.)

Now if you read near the end of paragraph two, under section two, you'll see where I mentioned that I am including mythological beings/creatures in my story. Being someone who has always loved mythology and folklore from all over the world, I've only heard of a few fantastic tales of African folklore/mythological creatures. But that was mainly from various Bantu/Central African groups and Southern African groups. Very few tales from Nigeria. So I made this thread to ask for help in this area, because the main cast in my story is from a fantasy version of ancient Nigeria. From different ethnic groups. Does anyone have any tales they've heard about a magical creatures (both good and evil) from Nigerian folklore? The same goes with magical people/heroes like Timi of Ede. (Thank you Rabzy!)

If anyone wishes to help me, to keep the format simple, could you make sure to clarify which Nigerian group the creature/person is from. On top of a little bit about them:

- What they look like
- If they are good or evil
- Where/how they live
- Special abilities (do they use magic or have special things like super strength or inhumanly fast speed)
- Do they have any weaknesses
- Do they favor certain human things like food, pottery, or jewelry

If you don't know all the details, that is fine too. It will just give me a good place to start, when I go to further research them.

Thank you for your time!
