what are some jumbies/duppies/folklore creatures that I can use for my story
I am planing on doing a comic story center around cultures and one of the most important elements of the story is jumbies/duppies. The story is set in a world where zombies have replace living workers, the body of the dead is use as slaves for the rich and powerful with only people with money can buy they way into a restless afterlife. The main character is a zombie who regain autonomy of his own body and the ability to see jumbies after eating a brain (I know this Hollywood bs but I like that it make thematic sense). Partner with a female jumbie, both the character set off to on a mission, to figure out who they was when they was alive. Thoughtout the story the main characters from a group with other monsters and explore the world hidden from humans.
I have some ideas of what I want to do like a hidden kingdom run by papa bois and mama dlo meant to protect the animals and maidens of the forest and rivers. Others includes the chupacabras, which kinda fill the role as vampires as in they power beings who a lines with humans to keep their activities hidden and moko jumbies which I can only discribe as a cult. I right now trying to figure out villains can be and jumbies that could tie into the main villains of this world (greedy rich elites).
