History
According to legend, Llongo was founded by a son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. He had a two-headed jewel-encrusted golden bull that was originally given by his mother to his father. The tribe believes that either a two-headed bull Luck and Wealth or a two-headed gazelle The Curse of the Sacred Image makes them the luckiest tribe in the jungle - different stories tell different versions.
They are farmers and the tribe is best known for its legendary luck, though throughout history their relations with the Wambesi tribe have been troubled. For some reason, the Llongo people get sick if they eat cattle, and they therefore keep goats instead. The Snake Goddess
A long time chief was Llionto, the uncle of President Lamanda Luaga. The current chief is the young Queen of Llongo. The Phantom Lion
Another well known member of the tribe is Llionto's son Tom-Tom[citation needed], the best friend of the Phantom's foster son Rex.
