The Mbielu-Mbielu-Mbielu is a cryptid that allegedly inhabits the Likouala Region of the Republic of the Congo. It is apparently herbivorous and non-violent. A few claimed sightings have been reported, most of which were collected by the cryptozoologist Roy Mackal,[citation needed] but no physical evidence for the creature has been uncovered.
It is described as "the animal with planks growing out of its back" - which has led some writers on the subject to suggest one of the Stegosauridae, although it seems the animal has not been seen in full, as it appears to be aquatic[1].
It is often compared in the literature to Nguma-monene[1] from the Ubangi River area - described as being "serpentlike" and semi-aquatic.
