On the west coast of Africa , Teikolosha as it is known there, is a worm-like creature which has a head of a dog like creature and a sharp tongue made of gold.
Behavior
It is said that the Teikolosha will burrow through the sand and eat the crops of villages that have a resident that has done wrong.
Once all the crops have been consumed the Teikolosha will lay eggs in place of where the crops were but what will grow will be more crops but these crops will be poisonous and bleed when cut.
Anyone who attempts to fight the Teikolosha will be banished to the African underworld and it is thought that their children will age rapidly and crumble to dust.
