Tikoloshe

[Jason Yan]

In [Zulu] mythology the Tikoloshe is a dwarf-like water sprite. They are considered a mischievous and evil spirit that is depicted as a zombie, gremlin, [poltergeist] or more often as a bear-like humanoid. Some Zulu tribes still believe they are created by wizards to harm their enemies, often known to bite the toes off of sleeping people or rape women.
