A beast of never-ending hunger and greed, the Kammapa appeared suddenly from the mountains. Made of a slick carapace that could not be pierced, it devoured dozens of people in a single bite, whole villages in minutes. Only when it saw that nothing remained, it returned to its lair in the mountains. An old woman who hid in the baobab grove was the only human left in all of existence. But all was not lost for the gods gave her a child, Ditaolane, and he would save humanity.
