This list of mythical creatures that begin with this letter and I am constantly gathering information from each continent, and is continually being updated.
Egbere (Yoruba)
In Yoruba mythology, Egbere is a malevolent spirit that is believed to reside in the woods and is often encountered during the nighttime.
According to the mythology, Egbere is described as being short in stature and is associated with a small mat. It is said to constantly cry. Additionally, there is a belief that anyone who manages to take the sleeping mat of wealth from Egbere will attain unimaginable riches.
The Yoruba peoples belief is that if you steal the mat the spirit of the gnome will follow you around for days wailing to give back the mat you stoled but if you can ignore and stand all that for the said period of time you become very rich, thats part of the myth. Habitually they used to be in remote forest area where only strong hunter can reach.
