Tikoloshe of South Africa: Monsters of the World

Here’s a monster from Zulu mythology. There are various versions of what this monster looks like, from child-sized dwarf to zombie to bear-like. I went with a dwarf-ish, gremlin-ish look. The tikoloshe can turn invisible by swallowing either water or a pebble. Its powers range from mischievous to deadly.
