In Zulu mythology, Abatwa are tiny humans said to be able to hide beneath a blade of grass and to be able to ride ants. They live a nomadic lifestyle and are continually on the hunt for game. If one happens to come across an Abatwa, they will typically ask a question like, "From where did you first see me?", to which you must reply by saying you saw them from a mountain, or some far away area. If someone answers by saying they saw them here for the first time, the Abatwa will try to kill them with poison arrows. They are extremely sensitive about their size. Stepping on an Abatwa by accident is also a death sentence.
They can only be seen by the very young, by magicians, and by pregnant women. If a pregnant woman in her seventh month of pregnancy sees a male Abatwa, it is said that she will give birth to a boy.
