Nkala are strange creatures and are the familiars of witches and people who use the dark side of Voodun, who use them as accursed mounts. They appear like a mix between a great purple crab and a hippopotamus. They have two heads like a hippo and four powerful crab pincers that they reach out to grab and foe and pin them in place while they rip them apart with powerful bites and pincers. They are intelligent and can speak but rarely do, but they can understand instructions easily. Some will have a head on the opposite sides of their bodies (front to back) while others will have both of their heads side by side. The rest of their powerful yet blunt crab legs scurry them from place to place. They love hiding in the darkness and are known as "devourers of darkness".
