Today’s mythical creature comes from Africa, I’m not sure how accurate it is but from the references I was able to get, like this one and the old good friend Wiki, I got some interesting things. The creature is described as having claws, moss growing on its skin, and fangs.
Known as Nya-Nya Bulembu, in Eswatini folklore, the legend intertwines a princess and a mythical creature that inhabits the waters in addition to a prince who sees beyond himself, the disguise of a terrifying creature that has been placed on the princess to humiliate her.
According to what I found on the web, the princess seemed to be just in disguise since the waters finally revealed her true appearance.
I hope you have a great weekend. See you in a few days more with a new illo from another corner of the world.
