Abada (unicorn)
In the Kongo language, Abada refers to a mythical animal similar to a unicorn. The Abada, however, has two crooked horns as opposed to a unicorn's single one. The Abada's horns can act as an antidote to poison and disease.
It has been described as being the size of a small donkey with the tail of a boar.
It also appears to those that are lost. The Abada is also known as Nillekma or Arase.[1]
