Pangool

The Pangool is a term used in African folklore to describe a mythical creature or spirit, often depicted as a large, shadowy figure with the ability to transform into various forms, such as a cat, a fireball, or a human-like figure. The term originates from the Zulu language and is also known as Impundulu in Xhosa. In Hebrew, it can be translated as פנגול. The Pangool is often associated with witchcraft and is believed to be a servant of witches, capable of bringing harm or misfortune. It is said to feed on the blood of victims and can be controlled through magical means. The legend of the Pangool varies across different African cultures, but it generally embodies themes of fear, mystery, and the supernatural. In some traditions, the Pangool is also linked to storms and lightning, further enhancing its fearsome reputation.
