Does anybody know of d&d/pathfinder products that cover african monsters? Both offical and unoffical supplements and products?

Like lions and elephants and giraffes? Or something like Mokèlé-mbèmbé (who's more-or-less a long-necked dinosaur)?

I meant monsters and creatures from african mythology or creature from african folklore.

by african I am guessing you mean sub-Saharan Africa?

other than the Mokèlé-mbèmbé, the Impundulu is the only one I know of. A giant bird said to b able to control the weather.

There are a small number of old 3rd party 3rd ed. supplements. Nyambe (http://www.atlas-games.com/nyambe/) and Hamunaptra (http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/19452/Egyptian-Adventures--Hamunaptra?it=1) (more Egyptian than anything). Might be more in various Dungeon/Dragons mags, but I'm not sure.

Not sure what monsters are present (haven't read them myself), but figure there are probably some in the various Nyambe (http://www.atlas-games.com/nyambe/) books.

Some monsters in Pathfinder's Heart of the Jungle (http://paizo.com/products/btpy8evh?Pathfinder-Chronicles-Heart-of-the-Jungle).

Svimohzia: the Ancient Isle (http://www.kenzerco.com/product_info.php?products_id=488) from Kenzer & Co. is, from my understanding, their Africa analog.

All these ones I have heard of but have no personal experience with.

I second (third?) the Nyambe setting, it's very useful even if you aren't going for Africa specifically, because of its low metal, no heavy armor, and tribal stuff, I'm using it in a Stone Age campaign that I'm running currently and it's working great!

For Pathfinder, there may be some stuff in Heart of the Jungle, or the Serpent's Skull adventure path. The Tuyewera (http://dxcontent.com/MDB_MonsterBlock.asp?MDBID=446), for example, is in Serpent's Skull book 1, and says it's loosely based on a bunch of African myths.

The Mokele-Mbembe (http://http://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Mokele-mbembe) appears in a PF supplement.

The Grootslang (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/magical-beasts/grootslang) is too.

I think you could use a styracosaurus (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/animals/dinosaur/dinosaur-styracosaurus) for Emela-ntouka.

There are also dozens of man-eating trees (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-eating_tree) in the Pathfinder bestiaries, I'm sure. Just search for the Plant monsters in the SRD.
