Yumboes are a kind of silver fairy reported by the Wolof people of Senegal. Their skin is pearlescent white and they have long silver hair. They are only 2 feet tall and are generally considered to be friendly. But be warned, they are notorious for stealing food from humans so hide all your snacks and provisions.

These small creatures live in the hills and reportedly have the finest feasts around (granted, all with stolen food). Invisible servants, who only have their hands and feet visible, attend them, serving the feast to the Yumboes and their guests. The Yumboes are said to love to dance in the moonlight and this is how you’re most likely to find them.

To get in their favor, be sure to bring some food you’re willing to share (take note: their favorite dishes are corn and fish) and get ready to bust a few moves under the pale moonlight.
