The Budas come from Abyssinian lore and were potters or iron workers that had the ability to shape-shift into werewolves or hyenas. They had an evil eye and wore earrings or a belt, which gave them the power to transform. The earrings would sometimes be found on the ears of hyenas that were later captured. They were only able to shape-shift one day out of the year. They would use their powers to inflict back luck, sickness, and/or death upon others.
