The Aigamuxa is an exotic type of ogre found in African mythology and folklore. The creature is fairly unknown outside of its native folklore and is not seen in many media outside of these tales.
History[]
Aigamuxa are horrific monsters from African folklore that haunt deserts and other remote areas, seeking out humans and animals to devour. They are distinguished by having their eyes on the soles of their feet, thus must stand on their hands in order to see prey. Despite this, they are terrible opponents with immense strength and speed as well as extremely long and deadly teeth.
The sight of an Aigamuxa is frightening due to its fearsome nature and monstrous appearance. They also tend to be very large with even the smallest being on average of 9ft tall.
Aigamuxa are cruel and sadistic, but can be defeated either through trickery or exploiting their main weakness, namely the odd placement of their eyes. A famous story has been shared about how an Aigamuxa tried to pursue the folk hero Jackal but was foiled when the trickster dropped tobacco dust on the ground, which irritated the monster's eyes so badly it gave up the chase, allowing Jackal to flee.
