Olitiau
An Olitiau is a gigantic cryptid bat (or flying reptile) hypothesized to exist in Central Africa.〔 The word, Olitiau likely comes from a fusion of the Ipulo words “Ole” and “Ntya”, a name for ceremonial dance masks used to represent demons.〔George M. Eberhart. ''Mysterious Creatures: A Guide to Cryptozoology''. Volume Two N-Z Santa Barbara, CA: ABC-CLIO, 2002. Pp. 405-406.〕 The name may be used by the Ipulo to refer to demons in general rather than to the creature itself.〔 ==Description== Olitiau are said to have wingspans.〔Karl Shuker. ''The Beasts That Hide From Man''. New York: Paraview, 2003. Pp. 84-107. ISBN 1-931044-64-3〕 Their body is allegedly black, though their wings have been described as either dark brown or red.〔 Their lower jaws are said to contain long, serrated teeth with equal spacing between each tooth.〔
