Africa’s mythological traditions are rich and diverse, offering a window into the beliefs of its ancient cultures. One enduring legend is the Tokoloshe, a creature feared across southern Africa. Descriptions of the Tokoloshe vary, but it is generally portrayed as a small, hairy figure with black eyes and, disturbingly, a very large penis that it throws over its shoulder. Known for causing mischief and harm, this creature is said to bring physical and psychological torment to its victims. The Jok, from the Acholi people of Uganda and South Sudan, represents a complex deity that functions both as a creator god and a class of spirits.
