Mother of the demigod Ryangombe by Babinga, king of the imandwa-spirits; a lioness-shapeshifter and cattle-killer of ambiguous status whom the dominant Werner-tradition treats as mortal-with-supernatural-powers. Renamed Nyiraryang'ombe ("Mother of Ryang'ombe") after her son's birth; the falling of a bloodstained leaf on her breast confirmed her foreknowledge of his death.
