year ii, week 49

Hello! Thanks for visiting, I know, I know, I’m week late…

Welcome to week 49 of my weekend hobby. Today’s mythical creature comes from the DRC. These creatures known as Eloko are a species of dwarf from the Congo jungle. The website says the Elokos have beards made of grass and clothes made of leaves. They are supposed to carry bells that they use to bewitch unsuspecting humans. There are some versions of the myth claiming that the Elokos are jungle spirits.

I hope you have a great weekend, see you in a few days with another mythical creature, hopefully on time.
