Kaggen

Among the San of southern Africa, Kaggen is often called the Mantis. He can take the form of any animal, most often a praying mantis, but also a bull eland, a louse or a snake. His wife is the Cape hyrax, mother of bees.

In the best known myth, his favourite creature, the eland, was killed by his sons before it was grown. He sprinkled its blood and fat on the ground, and a great herd sprang up for his people to hunt.
