© BloodyLexicon.com

The Adze is a type of vampire that takes the form of a firefly. This little vampire is believed in African lore, and is said to dwell near tribal sorcerers, especially those of the Ewe in Ghana and southern Togo. This firefly’s favorite is blood from little children. The adze can also possess people, and anyone under the influence of an adze is considered a witch. If a person captures the lightning bug, the bug will take human form. The adze can also drink coconut water and palm oil if no blood is available.
