‘The Impundulu is a mythological creature in the folklore of the tribes
of the Southern Africa including the Pondo, the Zulu and the Xhosa. The
impundulu, which translates as “lightning bird” takes the form of a
black and white bird, the size of a human which is said to summon
thunder and lightning with its wings and talons.’ [Wikipedia]
The lightning bird is known to have super special powers, and for being
generally creepy all round. Among certain African tribes the Hammerkop
is believed to be the lightning bird. The creature only manifests
itself as a bird to women and, ‘In one instance a village girl
described a black bird that ran up her hoe and left claw marks on her
body before it flew back to the clouds.’[Wikipedia]
Both the bird and it’s eggs can be found where lightning strikes, and
parts are often used in traditional medicine, sometimes to catch
thieves. Apparently the lightning bird also enjoys a good blood fest,
and can be found sucking on human blood, most notably enemies of the
witchdoctor. Yum yum! Of course it is also known to seduce naughty
girls
MissYucki read that
“In 2005, a South African man was convicted of culpable homicide after killing a two year old child he believed to be an impundulu.” [Wikipedia]
