Cryptids of the Congo..

In darkest Africa there lies deep beneath the basin an underworld realm whose mystical and magical power source feeds the energy of the prehistoric creatures who continue to roam the jungle of the surface world. All of these creatures, be they large or small, are mostly male and have lived, just like the Goddess Ayesha and her Zinjhan warriors, for thousands upon thousands of years. Also, just the Zinjhans who guard the primary gate in Kukuanaland and the shapeshifters who guard the other underworld entrances in various parts of the world, including the swamps of the Louisiana bayou, the cryptids also stand guard at various various swamp lakes, such as Lake Moreau.
