ANDUMBULU
Dogon Underworld Spirits
Also known as Andoumboulou, Antumbulu
Pint-sized Spirits of the Underworld
These were the very first humans, born of the naughty union of Ogo with his own mother Earth.
Described as pygmies with massive heads, at some point they transmogrified into snake-like spirits and slithered off to the Underworld. Since then, the Andumbulu have shared Underworld duties with their colleagues the Yeban.
The Andumbulu have their own range of wooden masks which give the wearer super-powers of domination over other people. If a little guy with a huge wooden mask starts dancing in front of you, we suggest you run away while your mind is still your own.
