yes my ayeyo would tell me stories about how she would steal kids who stayed outside when it's dark and eat them alive

Qori Ismaris from what I gathered by interrogating several people in SL as a child, is a hyena-human monster. Apparently, people from Djibouti use a plant that only grows in their land. They rub this plant all over their bodies and use their special powers to turn into a hyena.

Then they terrorize people and eat them.

There's also another story of a man with a lion head that roamed northern Somalia, forgot the name of this creature, though.

I have also heard stories about a group of people that were can cannibals that were locked up behind gates

They’re very brave to call “Waaq“ a mythology.

Dude was a jidwaq

Ogadeniya. Get it right please

and that time when king Wiil Waal was around the 1700s very early of that century. He was Jidwaq Absame.

And I doubt if Somalis have myths due to them being Muslims since 7th century.

I took tawxiid seriously thank god.

Geeljirettes used to tell these telltales to their children while the geeljire was away for long times. To make the children ignore the hunger, we would tell them these stories to keep them occupied.

Really goes to show how poetically creative we are.
