Ok guys the year is 2024 can we please stop pretending that Fairies are part of the Monster community? They don't face oppression like other monster groups, but they do want the benefits of being in our community and we should stop letting them.

Oh joy, another Vorpalblade Vampire in 2024...

🦇 Sck.My.Bldng.ns Follow

Yes, I'm a Vorpalblade Vampire and y'all will not intimidate me into silence!!!

The monster community is for the undead, the cursed, and other former humans. If you do not fit into any of those catergoies (i.e., Fairies) then you do not belong.

If you want talk about whatever problems Fairies have then fine, but do not drag my community into it.

I. Will. Not. Let. You.

🐺 LittleHowlingMonster Follow

For the record, Fairies are accepted into the monster community and OP's opinion is very unpopular.

I am very sorry op snapped at you MmRB.

Werewolves are catching strays from OP showing the whole world his exclusionism / racism (don't act like I didn't catch you using AAVE to sound scary)

🦇 Sck.My.Bldng.ns Follow

1.) I have Fairies DNI in my bio, and I will be blocking any Fairy that interacts with me

2.) @ LittleHowlingMonster, I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, but you weren't showing solidarity with me when that baby stealer blog attacked me, so I called you a slur. I won't apologise for doing that until you do better.

3.) I don't even know how Human racism was dragged into this conversation, but I think it's clear to everyone that the fairy blog is grasping ay staws to discredit me and any African vamp or monster blog would agree with me.

I. Will. Not. Back. Down.

This thread proves that we should have never allowed fairies into the monster community.

OP: is not black american, southern american, or have any cultural ties to the word y'all at all (he's European).

Also OP: uses the word y'all to make themselves sound scary, asserts that any other vamp would back him up (I don't), and doesn't even follow any non European vampire blog.

Now if I said I didn't agree with you...

Cryptid of the Day: Sasabonsam

Description: The Sasabonsam is a vampiric creature from the Akan people of western Africa. Though mythological, there was one report from 1918 that claimed a Sasabonsam was killed by a man. Supposedly it was photographed, but when developed, the photos showed nothing.

From our stacks: "Helpers of the Witches of Ashanti. Ashanti witches work in league with the red or mischievous fairies and a demon called Sasabonsam. This latter takes the form of a hairy forest monster with long legs, bloodshot eyes, and feet pointing both ways. The photograph (from Captain R.S. Rattray's 'Religion and Art in Ashanti') shows figures of Sasabonsam and two fairies." From Manners and Customs of Mankind.

Recently, I got to redesigning an old OC of mine. He's come a long way since the first time that I came up with him.

His first design was this, back in 2020:

I didn't have any big plans for him at the time - He was just an idea that I thought of on the fly because some pals (one of them being @enjisquared) in a discord server I'm in were discussing fangs and vampires. Over time, however, I came up with somewhat of a solid plotline for him.

His name is Kaatachi, an Asanbonsam vampire who lived in the monster realm. Keyword here is lived because he ended up in the human realm and now he's got amnesia so he doesn't even remember what his purpose in life used to be.

Kaatachi was an agent of sorts who served the Ofori royal family, which consisted of Sasabonsam vampires. While serving them (and living in the monster realm in general), he went by the name Danso, which was just a mere alias. He kept his real name and most of his personal life a secret to prevent himself or others from being exploited by anyone else. He is adept in using swords, especially greatswords, and he has a monstrous form that he can shift into if he needs a last resort in combat. In his humanoid form, he is supposed to be six feet tall.

He was dating Baako, the eldest child of the king. He was also good friends with Kojo, the chancellor to the royal family. The king did not completely trust him, but couldn't deny that he did his job well and that his methods get good results.

Kaatachi unfortunately ended up in the situation that he was in regarding the human realm because he was tricked by Sabir, a human associate and diplomat that he worked with from time to time. Sabir's true aim was to destroy the Ofori family and whatever was left of the monster realm - As he viewed it to be a world of degeneracy - but his actions would lead to future consequences for both realms as a result.

Sabir set Kaatachi up once the latter caught wind of a plan to attack the Ofori family castle, and Sabir couldn't afford to have Kaatachi continue to stand in his way. So, once the two met up (Kaatachi being under the impression that Sabir would help him protect the castle), Sabir kidnapped him and nearly killed him, sending him to the human realm in hopes that someone or something else would finish him off since humans don't take too kindly to vampires. Kaatachi, however, managed to survive, but he lost his memory when he woke up.

Kaatachi's hair color changes to red whenever he's in the human realm, but its original color is black. Because he can't remember how to control certain attributes of his humanoid form, he's currently walking around as a seven-foot tall man. When he shifts into his monstrous form (which is much more dangerous now since he doesn't remember how to control that either), his height increases to nine feet. He does happen to know how to use swords still, which works wonders since he wouldn't have to resort to using his monstrous form that often.

Currently, he is a mercenary of sorts who has worked with the Ozigbodi royal family a couple of times, and is acquainted with Osei, their crown prince. He spends most of his time either taking up work, or heading to local fighting tournaments to make a quick buck by winning the cash prize.

𝓒ONCEPT.ㅤ some professional boyfriend headcanons featuring xīn’yuè and a few others he figured imperative to receive attention in his overview. lil' commanding, he is. can you already imagine, or are you invested to see for yourself? if you're staying, may we interest you in a fragrance sample or two, free of charge? ℘RECAUTION.ㅤ switch fem reader, daddy kink, toys, condescending praise, slight bantering, implied exhibitionism.

༺ ceo!boyfriend who is the Chief Executive Officer of an intercontinental brand with the hall and trademark “Anzhong”; a subsidiary worldwide fashion industry with product lines that also include accessories, handbags, footwear, cosmetics, clothing, adult toys, and other minor trinkets such as writing utensils or home decor. The industry was also founded in 1928 in Lhasa, Tibet by Chagmo Kyi. You may also infer that the headquarters is located there as well, which is where the CEO in question dabbles a majority of his life besides with you or his two daughters, Maju and Blumei. There are over hundreds of active boutiques worldwide, at least 15,000 active employees, and their headquarters, which Xīn’yuè works at, is located in Lhasa, Tibet. The revenue of this company is at least 9.35 billion, making Xīn’yuè one of the richest CEOS any business has to offer. Similar to most compassionate businessmen, they soften up when it’s safe to, as it’s not considerably so in a workplace. Have to stay firm towards your subordinates, after all.

༺ ceo!boyfriend who is a spoiler as much as he doesn’t want to admit. Considering that he’s rather emotionally constipated, he utilizes his affection through quality time, affirming words, and gift showers. There are times where you receive the secretary treatment despite being the girlfriend, but he’s communicative enough to apologize for such. While the apology would always seem half-hearted and awkward, he redeems himself with a list of things since he knows the apology wasn’t the best; he truly cares for you but is only capable of showing it appropriately when he deems necessary. Relationships aren’t his forte, after all. Not only he has to worry about his career that takes up too much of his time, but his girls that also take up the little time he possesses when he’s on break. You get him to unwind often which he secretly appreciates, but outwardly he playfully reprimands or mocks you for catering to him like he’s some sort of child. You ignore him however, proceeding to give him head massages as the two of you binge your favorite show as the girls sleep. He feels safe with you. Always. But you’ll have to squint to conclude such.

༺ ceo!oc who canonically has two boyfriends. Yes, two. The phenomenon has yet to process ‘til this day, for he not only received the term and accurate accusation “bicurious” from his workout partner, Zolene Irene, but growing up in a judgmental household closes your mind in a negative manner (shout out to his strongly traditional parents that projected their opinions onto him, especially his homophobic father). Both are also spiritual entities, by the way, and as a human, it’s… overwhelming. One is a curt, cupidity maneki-neko with the name Indigo who happens to also be his financial advisor and natural migraine inducer. His other lover is a sasabonsam, a vampiric tree dweller who has yet to conclude the consequence of skipping out of work constantly just to do what he desires. Oh, I forgot to mention that they’re two Taureans. Taureans. The most obstinate Earth sign, let alone one of the three most in general. In summary, order is the last thing that household needs.

༺ ceo!boyfriend whose sex drive is on the low side of the spectrum, so you’re usually the one either engaging in sexual activities first or engaging in them by yourself; graysexuality is no joke. Generally however, he understands that you have needs, so he doesn’t mind pleasuring you when he feels comfortable despite him not feeling anything in return but genuine entertainment. Though, on another note, when you voice your outwardly desires, he not only gives you a captious expression that corresponds with his sardonic reassurance, but claims that some of the things you want from him are completely unethical. Naturally, you didn’t like this response, let alone his inability to take a moment to put himself in your shoes, so you left the idea alone. Naturally again, he felt a subtle sense of regret a while after that discussion, so he planned on how exactly he should make it up to you without giving into your desires…

ℌ Side note, for the most part, it didn’t work. He gave in.

The perspiration bubbling in the subtle arch of your back was prompted by the sudorific vibrations that emanated from the personalized bullet vibrator that was buzzing against your clit. Your tumescent bud pulsated effervescently as your hips scoured against the trembling surface, forcing moans to elude from your tepid, lazily parted lips. The vibrations were mellow and arrhythmic, hence your relatively desperate mannerisms, as you failed to reach the orgasm that was nearing, evading, nearing, and evading. With unreliable assistance, that is, seeing as the tip of the device was stagnant and pressed against your soppy clit, vibrating louder due to its inundation. If only the vibrations were just a little stronger, but even you understood that this behavior was well deserved, for you believed that guilt-tripping him for not utilizing your idea sooner was the best route.

“Can I finish now? Please? Jebel? Bài tuō?” You implored sycophantically, your blissed-out gaze imbued with lechery as your dampened lashes fluttered upwards at the one who was torturing you on the frigid surface. Obstinacy is nothing but a drug with no ideal remedy; this was evinced with the way the asshole you were star-fucking merely hummed dismissively in response, lightening the pressure from your clit just to watch the vulva quiver. The lack of the response immediately influenced your obsequious actions to falter with a miffed pout and a hip gyration; if you possessed the ability to trade places with this individual within seconds he would’ve been cumming and hyperventilating right about now.

“Sweetheart, don’t leave me like this.. Don’t you feel sorry for me? Hm? Mmmh-maybe even horny for me for once? Hm, daddy?”

The left curve of the well-adored and cross-country CEO’s lip quirked up for a moment in acknowledgment, but also derisive, once you mockingly quiered him. Everything was a muddle, a concupiscent muddle. There was no recollection of the prior events; all you remember is what’s happening now and later. What now consists of a yukata-wearing billionaire looming over the desk of his office, the glass surface besplattered with crumpled papers, prurient excretions, and excessive handprints. Then later that said inspirational figure will leave you knee-buckled and exhausted over the desk as he roughly persuaded you on why disobedience was never an option to begin with. An intense idea to state, but you’ve been through much worse, believe yourself.

“I figured it was prudent to continue stalling,” Xīn’yuè clarified vaguely in a collected tone; the eloquence parroted the tone of him relaying messages to one of his many, many subordinates despite you being nude from the waist down, tainting the glass below your ass. He predicted your protests, hence the immediate impulse to slide the bullet vibrator back inside of you, earning a sharp, shaky whimper that was immediately muted by him. He already wasn’t fond of the idea of making you cum in such a vulnerable setting; it was a miracle that neither of you were caught by a frantic employee with effervescent news. “Not only for ‘efficiency’s sake’, but to assure that any potential slip-ups—notably from you—remain a simple mystery.”

Your plush thighs trembled harshly in response, plus the clicks of the vibrator that indicated that the volume was being turned up was just as inebriating as his sardonic statements. You still couldn’t wrap your head around the fact that this was custom made for you, but you could definitely wrap your legs around his waist for ultra stability. Merino white rings enveloped around the midnight-hued toy as he fucked you with it in a gradual pace, not to mention that the name “Anzhong” was embedded within it in bullion only to be sealed with sticky cum created by you. Even the mere thought of that brought you closer, which was also determined with the way your drenched walls embraced the toy with fervor and the sibilated mantras of pleads that escaped your throat.

After acknowledging that you're close, and also annoyingly and worriedly loud, he slipped the object back out, earning not only exasperated insults disguised as guileless complaints, but an abundance of clenches that yearned for the nostalgic repletion. With a miffed, critical look, he took the cum-coated object before tapping your lips with it in order to interrupt your objections, taking the moment to keep you temporarily silenced by pushing it inside of your mouth, his fingers holding onto the ends so it doesn’t slide down your throat and asphyxiate you. His free, clammy hand however, was now placed on your exposed hip, grasping onto the flesh softly before the veins of the exterior emerged from the epidermis. Xīn’yuè’s bored look now embodied some remnants of puckishness once your silence managed to be the only thing that excited him tonight, which was concluded by the twitching awakening of his semi-hard dick.

“Now, be a good, sweet puppy and clean it up. Intractability, by definition, is something I don’t get along with often, so behave accordingly and quit whining.”

How did your OCs get their scars?

Oooooh, thank you!! Most of my OCs have a lot of scars from various events/battles/whatever, so I'm gonna pick one scar/moment for each and talk about that :D

Rae: Has matching scars across the outsides of her forearms - Warren, brainwashed by Apocalypse, had sliced out at her with one of his metal wings, and she threw up her arms impulsively to block it.

Robin: Has various small, pale scars on her face from when she used her sonic abilities to rescue her brother from being captured - she used sound waves to resonate within a pair of metal restraints, the restraints shattered and she was cut by the shrapnel.

Madison: Has a scar on her stomach from the event that brought her to the X-Mansion to begin with - she was ambushed by the Brotherhood and stabbed by Azazel, and they unceremoniously dumped her at the mansion for the X-Men to deal with.

Ophelia: Has a burn scar on her shoulder from fighting Molten Man, when he threw a ball of magma at her and she didn't dodge far enough to avoid being burned.

Gia: Has a lot of scars left from HYDRA's tests of her healing ability, as they attempted to see what her body would be able to handle as long as her clover (that holds her life force) isn't damaged.

Jasper: Has patchy scars on their knees from when they were first learning to skate - most of the time they wore kneepads, but sometimes they fell without them and scraped up their knees.

Kestrel: Has a puncture scar at the hollow of their throat, from when they were hooked by a Sasabonsam (Akan folklore, batlike creature with iron teeth and claws) while on a mission in Ghana.

Katherine: Nothing exciting, but has a scar at the base of her left thumb from trying to swap out the blade in a craft knife and slipping.

Quinn: Has scars on the outsides of her palms, from when she'd grabbed a concrete lip while parkouring and didn't realize there were old pigeon spikes affixed to it. Thankfully they didn't puncture all the way through, but it was enough to scrape her pretty deep.

Eris: Has a scar on the underside of their bicep, where they claim to have been shot with an arrow by Genghis Khan (though of course, nobody else was alive to confirm it, so who knows?)

Nikoletta: Has track-mark scars at the insides of her elbows from her time at STAR Labs, since they put her through so many repeated injections to try and link her to the shadow realm.

Jimmy: Not counting the obvious bullet wound in his chest... he has a little dent in the meat of his forearm from where he was bitten by a very temperamental macaw while doing his work in the aviary.

Chapter Disclaimer: I don't own the supernatural creatures listed in the beginning

Summary: Vampire Keith turns an of age Pidge. 

Author Note: This is Kidge with vampire Keith and of age Pidge and was requested by Cmdr_fil.

"A Turn of Events"

Keith never thought he would ever turn someone, especially since he didn't even drink from people. He usually frequented a local blood bank that was friendly to supernatural beings that required blood like vampires, iimpundulu, asema, and the strigoi. Just like vampires, there were some blood sucking creatures that preferred not to take from people. Keith had met a few in passing when he started going to the blood bank. (He even saw a chupacabra once!)

That night started like every other night with Keith waking up and heading to the blood bank. Once he obtained his bag of blood, which he drank there, he normally would take a walk in the city, before going back home. However, he found himself at a park entrance. He cautiously made his way into the park, unsure of what led him there.

There was a smell that wafted over to Keith. He recognized it and relaxed slightly with a small smile on his face. It was his girlfriend, Katie. He had met her online under the name of Pidge on a cryptid website. She was passionate about her beliefs, which initially drew Keith to her. He knew beings that had lived for centuries that didn't have the enthusiasm of an eighteen-year-old tech wiz.

It had been a gamble telling and later showing Katie what he was, but it paid off as she didn't shun him. She got to know him and he her, which involved evening dates. However, it wasn't supposed to be that night, which put Keith slightly on edge. Why was Katie there?

He was about to call out to her when he caught the scent of something he hadn't immediately identified. His eyes narrowed as the scent seemed to be following Katie like it was stalking her. Keith tensed as he was worried about his girlfriend's safety as he finally identified the scent. It was the scent of a fellow blood drinker, a jiangshi.

He was so focused on the jiangshi that he almost didn't catch the scent of the hiding sasabonsam. He tensed as Katie unknowingly walked under the tree the sasabonsam was hiding in.

%%%

Katie hadn't originally had the night off from work, but she worked a shift during the day, so her boss let her have the night off, and she figured she might surprise Keith. She never thought she'd fall for a vampire, but maybe she wasn't entirely surprised. She was passionate about the existence of cryptids, which some people don't believe vampires were a part of. Katie wasn't one of them and was elated to have the knowledge of their existence. She was a lover of knowledge and the process of learning. She always wished she could have the time to learn more.

Cutting across the park was supposed to be a shortcut, and it turned out to be a misstep. She didn't have the enhanced senses her boyfriend did, so she didn't notice either of the blood suckers that closed in on her and eventually attacked.

The sasabonsam jumped down on top of her, and not wasting any time in plunging its iron fangs into the junction between her left shoulder and neck. Katie screamed in shock and pain but was still aware of a thump-thump-thump sound she had somehow not noticed before. A second set of fangs sinking into the other side of her neck wrenched another scream from the teenager.

Katie's screams enraged Keith, who immediately jumped into action. He grabbed the sasabonsam and ripped its wings off one at a time and snapped its neck with hardly any trouble. He turned to the jiangshi, grabbing it by its hair, which ripped off the decomposing creature. This incensed the raven-haired vampire more and managed to wrap his hand around its neck and tear it away from Katie. He crushed its throat, snapping its neck in one motion.

A wheezing sound caught his attention, hi dropping the dead jiangshi as he turned back to the mortally wounded Katie. He dropped to his knees as his eyes roved over her injuries. The level of emotion in his eyes told Katie that Keith knew what she had already figured out. She was dying.

"At...least...I got...to see you...again," Katie rasped.

Keith gently dragged his cold fingertips down her face in a caress. "I don't want you to leave me."

"We...can't...help that."

"Katie." There was a pause before Keith continued. "If..."

"If...?"

"What about if I turn you?"

"Yes."

The certainty in Katie's voice startled Keith. It hadn't taken her any time in responding to his query. Had she even thought about the ramifications of being turned or was she terrified of death? No, his girlfriend wasn't terrified of dying. Not much terrified her (except for running out of peanut butter).

"Are you sure?"

"Just do it." Katie closed her eyes.

Keith let out a deep breath, more to steady himself than out of any actual necessity, in order to collect his thoughts. He leaned over and as gently as he could slipped his fangs into an unblemished section of Katie's neck.

The gasp that escaped the teen almost caused Keith to dislodge his fangs, but he stayed put. Turning someone wasn't something done light or quickly. The transfer of blood was vital but had to be done in exact timing and sequence or it could end up killing the human. As Katie was dying, it seemed worth it.

After Keith had drank from her for three minutes, he pulled back. He licked his fangs clean as he counted silently to five before digging one of his nails into the opposite wrist. Once he created an opening, he positioned his wrist in front of Katie's mouth, urging her to drink a little.

"Just a mouthful, Katie. Please."

Katie managed to get a mouthful before Keith's wrist healed itself. She swallowed, gagging slightly at the taste of the blood, and minutes later, her body started convulsing. Keith managed to keep ahold of her so she didn't hit her head on the ground as her body changed.

Her skin gradually lost what little color she had to begin with, and Keith could feel her warmth fading as well. He could feel her breathing slow hear and feel her heartbeat diminish.

As he watched his girlfriend change into a vampire, Keith started to worry that she would be angry with him for turning her. He knew it was the only way to save her life and that she agreed to it, but that didn't mean that she couldn't be angry at him. Katie was scary on a regular night; Keith was sure he didn't want to face an angry Katie on this particular night.

%%%

While Keith was noticing the changes his girlfriend was going under, said girlfriend was experiencing the worst pain in her life. Every time she thought she was feeling the worst pain in her life, she was proven wrong. She thought having a long splinter being removed from her foot without anesthesia was bad, but then she broke her arm. She had thought /that/ was bad, but then she was hit with debilitating cramps during her monthly cycles. However, she was fairly certain she was experiencing the worst pain ever.

It had started all at once. There was a tightening in her chest like she couldn't catch her breath. The tightening spread to her extremities, the pressure increasing the longer it went on. Then, just when it seemed like her bones would crack under the pressure, it disappeared, only to be replaced by waves of pain. She couldn't place where it had started, only that she was engulfed in a matter of seconds. That was when she started convulsing. She was vaguely aware of Keith's arms holding her, glad he was there with her, but her thoughts were consumed by even more pain followed by an immense coldness that was so cold it burned. Katie wasn't sure if she could handle any more pain, when it suddenly stopped, and she ceased convulsing. Then, her body went extremely rigid, not even a muscle could twitch. Katie wanted to scream, but she couldn't even open her mouth. Then, everything went black.

The next thing she was aware of was the sensation of a hand running through her short hair. She managed to open her eyes, which landed on Keith, who looked...apprehensive? Katie wasn't sure that was the right word, but it was as close as she would get without knowing what was wrong.

"Keith?"

"Katie, how do you feel?" Keith helped her sit up.

"Sore, honestly...and the park seems different."

"The soreness will fade, and the differences are due to your senses being enhanced."

Keith's answers seemed almost hesitant. "Keith, what's wrong?"

"Are-are you angry with me?"

"What? Why would you think that?"

"Because I turned you."

"I'm not angry. After all, I did agree to it."

"But, why?"

"You know I've always had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and never had enough time to learn everything I wanted to and now, I do! Plus I can even experience the changes the future holds. Imagine the advances in technology!"

Keith couldn't help but chuckle at Katie's excitement over new tech. Neither of them had even considered this turn of events happening, but now that it had, both were looking forward to their future together.

Inferi

Creating an Inferius is one of the darkest acts a wizard can perform. The Inferius is a reanimated corpse controlled through dark magic, quite similar to what muggles call: zombies.

It is sadly unclear which witch or wizard first discovered the way of creating an Inferius but we do know that around 1000AD, a student of Salazar Slytherin discovered a relic that was able to heal those afflicted by Dark Magic through human sacrifice by summoning Inferi. The Inferi summoned by this relic were loyal to the person controlling the relic. The relic was uncovered once more in 1891 by Slytherin student Sebastian Sallow which resulted in an overwhelming amount of Inferi threatening the hamlet of Feldcroft and the death of Solomon Sallow.

Only 8 years later, in 1899, Gellert Grindelwald had the idea to summon an army of Inferi to complete his conquest for the greater good. In order to do this, he wanted to use the Resurrection Stone, one of the deathly hallows. It is unknown if Grindelwald succeeded in creating Inferi.

One person who did succesfully create not just one but a small army of Inferi is Lord Voldemort. During the first wizarding war, Voldemort created a large amount of Inferi from the muggles he murdered. Most of his Inferi victims were muggle vagrants with the occasional missing ministry witches and wizards. He did not however use this army of Inferi to go on the offensive, Voldemort placed the army within the lake where he hid one of his Horcruxes, Salazar Slytherin's locket. Despite the large amount of Inferi, they resulted in the death of just one person: Regulus Black.

During the second wizarding war, the ministry warned people that Voldemort might be using Inferi once again. There is however no evidence that Voldemort created any new Inferi. We do have the funny little story of Mudungus Fletcher impersonating an Inferius during a burglary attempt. Fletcher was however caught in the act and sent to Azkaban.

Lord Voldemort did not use his Inferi during the battle of Hogwarts, the reason why is unknown. Perhaps Voldemort did not trust the Inferi as it is said that the Inferi will always hold a wrath towards their creator. It is also unclear what happened to the Inferi in the lake after the battle of Hogwarts, perhaps the magic died and they returned to being corpses again or the lake remains filled with the undead waiting for an innocent passerby.

Almost 20 years after the second wizarding war, there was a new Inferi incident. The Haitian national Quidditch team used Inferi to intimidate other teams during the opening ceremony of the 2014 Quidditch world cup. This was of course not a good idea as the Inferi started to attack people which resulted in 300 casualties. The Inferi also attacked the Sasabonsam, vampire-like creatures who were the mascots of Nigeria. One of these infected vampire creatures in turn attacked the Jamaican keeper Kquewanda Bailey.

Kongamato

Kongamato ("rompe botes"), en la mitología de África y en criptozoología, es el nombre con el que se conoce a un supuesto monstruo volador.

Ya en un libro de viajes publicado en 1923, Frank H. Melland narra los testimonios de varios indígenas de la región pantanosa de Jiundú, pequeño afluente del Zambeze (en el noroeste de la actual Zambia), que describieron el kongamato, una especie de reptil con alas de murciélago y un largo pico armado de feroces dientes. Cuando Melland dice haber mostrado a los nativos algunas láminas que ilustraban libros de biología con animales prehístóricos, éstos lo habrían relacionado inmediatamente con el pterodáctilo, a la vez murmurando: "kongamato, kongamato".

Así, esta criatura se relacionó con otros mitos tales como el sasabonsam, tradicionalmente vampiro-ogro, como monstruo de la mitología Ashanti; y el Olitu, mito del oeste en Camerún, que los naturales describen como una criatura-murciélago nocturna. Igualmente, en Zambia y Zimbabue los nativos de la zona también habrían informado a reporteros de la BBC de Londres, sobre un "lagarto volador" con alas de 2 metros de envergadura y semejantes a los murciélagos. Su pico era largo y lleno de dientes. Lo llaman kongamato y lo temen y respetan, ya que según sus tradiciones ataca a seres humanos, especialmente a bebés, a quienes llevaría volando, atrapados entre sus enormes garras.

The Asanbosam is a vampire in the folklore of the Akan people of Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. It is said to have pale skin, blood-shot eyes, fangs made of iron, and hooked feet that point both ways.

The Asanbosam uses its unique feet to hang upside down from branches, snatching up unwary passersby. It has also been said to sit in trees and attack people with its feet. There are even stories of the creature using its feet to drain its victim's blood.

Asante Sasabonsam Figure:

The Asanbosam, Asasabonsam or more commonly Sasabonsam is a vampire-like folkloric being from the Asante people. It belongs to the folklore of the Ashanti of southern Ghana, as well as Côte d'Ivoire, Togo and 18th century Jamaica from enslaved Asantes. It is said to have iron teeth, pink skin, long red hair and iron hooks for feet and lives in trees, attacking from above.

In mythology, it is usually portrayed as an archetypical ogre; according to A Dictionary of World Mythology:

...the hairy Sasabonsam has large blood-shot eyes, long legs, and feet pointing both ways. Its favourite trick is to sit on the high branches of a tree and dangle its legs so as to entangle the unwary hunter.

Both the ogre and vampire versions have iron teeth.
