| - The Nandi Bear is reported from Africa, and it was named after the Nandi tribe. It was said to eat only the brains of it's victims. This trait is uncertain why it does. this cryptid did not appear in the series
- Despite its name, it is actually a giant carnivorous hyena species. It is the largest carnivorous mammal of Africa, about the size of a average size polar bear, and is the largest species of hyena on the planet. One reason why people think its a bear is because it is huge and looks like a bear, but don't be fooled by this, just like other hyena species, it has a hunchback area on its upper back. It lives in many savannahs in eastern Africa. Its favorite prey items are young hippos, mesorons, large-sized antelopes, medium-sized antelopes, deer, ostriches, tapirs, zebras, horses, and other herbivores.
- The Nandi Bear, also known as Ngoloko is a cryptid, or unconfirmed animal, is reported to live in Africa. It takes its name from the Nandi people who live in western Kenya, near where the Nandi Bear is reported as living. Frank W. Lane wrote, "What the Abominable Snowman is to Asia, or the great Sea Serpent is to the oceans, the Nandi Bear is to Africa. It is one of the most notorious of those legendary beasts which have, so far, eluded capture and the collector's rifle."
- The Nandi bear is a bear-like creature that is thought to live in Northern Africa. It could be a living specimen of the Atlas Bear, a bear that went extinct as the Ice Age ended. The Nandi Bear is an unknown large predator that is said to dwell in the Kenya region of Africa. It is described as having a sloping back, like a hyena. It is the nicknamed "Brain Eater" by locals because it eats only the brains of it's victims. Woman are sent to get firewood and are found later, always minus the tops of their skulls. It hunts by waiting on a low lying tree branch above a path. When someone walks beneath the branch it swipes the top of their skulls off and begins to eat.

Several identities have been put forward:
* An undiscovered kind of bear. This could be plausible because Africa has such a varied landscape that there should be somewhere where a bear fits in.
* A Hyena. The sloped back of the Nandi bear is characteristic of a hyena.
* A giant baboon.
* A Chalicothere.
* A Gorgonopsid, a saber-toothed synapsid that lived during the Permian era.
