The Eloko are spirits that live in the Mfinda, a primordial Congolese forest of gods, spirits, and ancestors. Baby Eloko are called Tots. The Tots are neither benevolent nor malevolent, some of them help grant humans safe passage through the forest while others are devious tricksters looking for a laugh. The Eloko honor the sacred Eloko Shrine that was built by both Eloko and humans. It maintains balance between the world above and the world below.
