Brief Bio

The Abada is a mythical creature from Central Africa, primarily associated with the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan. This unique animal resembles a small donkey and possesses the tail of a boar, measuring approximately 4 feet in height. Notably, the Abada is distinguished by its two crooked horns, which are reputed to have medicinal properties, acting as an antidote to poison. Known to be herbivorous, the Abada typically inhabits the regions of Kurdufan and Central Africa, where it is regarded with a sense of mystique, often being compared to unicorns. Also referred to as Nillekma or Arase, this shy creature has captured the imagination of many, attributed in folklore with the ability to cure diseases through its horns.
