The Warrior (horned) and Royal (ridged) Chitauli, per Credo Mutwa's own detailed description — including a tail and, in some, a third eye, both restored from his original testimony.
THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY
CHITAHULI / CHITAULI
“They walk very gracefully, like trees gently swaying in the wind,” Zulu shaman Credo Mutwa told interviewer Rick Martin of the Chitauli — reptilian beings he said arrived on Earth in fire-belching, bowl-shaped vessels, stripped humanity of telepathy in exchange for divisive spoken language, and installed the first kings and chiefs as their “blood” middlemen.
Name: Chitahuli / Chitauli
AKA: Per Mutwa, “the Dictators” (a direct translation of “Chitauli”). Related terms he uses in the same accounts include “Imanujela” and “Imbulu,” referring to related or associated creatures — these appear to be distinct but connected terms within his own tradition, not simply synonyms for “Chitauli.”
Location – Home System: Not specified by Mutwa as a star system; per his account, they “arrived out of the skies” in the ancient past.
Distance from Earth: Not specified; treated in Mutwa’s account as visitors rather than indigenous Earth life, which differs slightly from the prior version’s “pre-human terrestrial origin” framing.
Attitude: Per Mutwa, the Chitauli presented themselves as gods, gathering early humans “by force with whips of lightning” and demanding obedience to installed rulers under threat of terrible punishment.
Motives: Per Mutwa, control and division of humanity — stripping away telepathy, precognition, psychokinesis, and spiritual travel, replacing them with spoken language specifically because it would divide rather than unite people.
Physical Appearance: Per Mutwa’s own description: tall, human-like in basic form but with a long tail; some have two eyes (bright yellow), others have three, with a red, round third eye centered in the forehead. Warrior Chitauli have horns encircling the head (which Mutwa said matched the Star Wars character Darth Maul almost exactly); Royal Chitauli lack horns but have a dark ridge running from the forehead down the back. Not reported in any source or fabricated: the precise numeric biometrics below.
- Average Height: Described as “tall” by Mutwa without a specific figure; the “7-9 feet, up to 12 feet” range is not stated in his account and should be treated as an estimate rather than his own words.
- Average Weight: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Body Temperature: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Pulse/Respiration: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Blood Pressure: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Life Expectancy: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Hair: Not described as hair-bearing; horns or a dark dorsal ridge instead, depending on caste, per Mutwa.
- Skin: Not specifically detailed by Mutwa in the excerpts located; the “grey-green to obsidian black, leathery” description is not directly attributed to his words and should be treated as a reasonable but unconfirmed general description.
- Eyes: Per Mutwa, “terrible burning eyes” — some individuals with two bright yellow eyes, others with three, the third being red and centered in the forehead. This is more specific and dramatic than the prior version’s generic “amber/yellow, slit pupils” description.
- Sex: Per the broader oral tradition, credited with dividing an originally androgynous humanity into male and female.
Other Physical Information: Per Mutwa’s firsthand account of an alleged close encounter: hands with thin, long fingers bearing more joints than human fingers, a thumb positioned differently than a human thumb, and each finger ending in a black claw “almost like certain African birds.” A long tail is also part of his description — a detail entirely absent from the prior version of this entry.
Special Traits and Abilities: The specific claim that Chitauli use a sharpened little-finger claw to pierce the nose and “drink brains” could not be directly confirmed in the excerpts of Mutwa’s interviews located for this correction; it may appear elsewhere in the fuller transcript but should be treated with caution pending direct confirmation, rather than stated as settled fact.
Communication Type: Per Mutwa, primarily telepathic prior to their intervention in human affairs; verbal language was what they imposed on humanity, not their own preferred mode.
Origin: Not specified as a star system in Mutwa’s account; described only as arriving “out of the skies” in vessels “shaped like great bowls.”
Life Form Type: Reptilian humanoid, per Mutwa’s description (tall, tailed, with reptilian-associated features).
Subspecies: Warrior Chitauli (horned) and Royal Chitauli (hornless, with a dark dorsal ridge) — both terms and descriptions confirmed directly in Mutwa’s own words.
Most Common Species: Not specified by Mutwa as a formal designation.
Level of Species: Not reported in any source or fabricated (“Level IV” classification has no traceable origin in Mutwa’s own words).
Habits: Per Mutwa, ruling through installed human bloodlines (“kings” and “chiefs” claimed to carry Chitauli blood), a system he ties directly to still-existing royal, political, and economic power structures.
Transportation Type: Per Mutwa, vessels “shaped like great bowls,” arriving with “a terrible noise and a terrible fire in the sky.” The specific “copper-colored” and cigar-shaped “Great Mother” ship descriptions in the prior version are not directly confirmed in the excerpts located.
Witnesses Reports: Credo Mutwa, Zulu shaman/sangoma, in interviews conducted by researcher Rick Martin (not “Jorge Martin,” a different, unrelated researcher, as the prior version stated) and separately by David Icke, whose widely-circulated “Reptilian Agenda” video series features Mutwa extensively.
Special Features/Characteristics: Per Mutwa’s firsthand account, the creature he encountered had a distinctive, strong odor described as smelling like “rotten eggs” and “hot copper” (sulfur) — a detail directly confirmed in his own words and accurately reflected in the prior version. He also describes the Greys (“Mantindane,” meaning “the tormentor”) as servants acting on behalf of the Chitauli, engaged in what he insists is not experimentation but “cold, cold-blooded resolve” in service of “greater creatures.”
Summary/Description: Per Credo Mutwa’s own extensively-documented oral tradition and personal testimony, the Chitauli arrived on Earth in the ancient past aboard bowl-shaped, fire-trailing vessels, presented themselves as gods to early humans, and stripped away innate telepathic and psychic abilities in exchange for spoken language — a “gift” designed to divide rather than unite. They installed human bloodline rulers claiming Chitauli descent, a system Mutwa ties to still-existing power structures today. Physically, per his account, they are tall and tailed, with either two bright yellow eyes or three eyes (including a central red one), horned in their warrior caste and ridge-backed in their royal caste, walking with a notably graceful gait Mutwa contrasted with the jerking movements he attributes to Greys.
Source: Credo Mutwa, in interviews conducted by researcher Rick Martin and by David Icke (“The Reptilian Agenda” video series); Credo Mutwa, “Song of the Stars: The Lost Chronicles of Africa” (real, published book).
Related Cases: The Mantindane/Greys, described by Mutwa as servants of the Chitauli; the related “Imanujela”/”Imbulu” terminology within the same African oral tradition, also referenced in connection with an unrelated Alpha Centauri shapeshifting-reptilian tradition in other exopolitical reference material.
DETAILED REPORT
Much of this entry rests on genuinely well-documented ground: Credo Mutwa was a real, widely-interviewed Zulu sangoma whose accounts of the Chitauli were recorded independently by multiple researchers, most notably Rick Martin and David Icke, whose “Reptilian Agenda” interview series brought Mutwa’s testimony to wide international attention. Several specific, striking details in the prior version — the graceful walk contrasted with the Greys’ jerking gait, the exact Darth Maul comparison, the Royal Chitauli’s hornless dark ridge, and the sulfur-like smell from his personal encounter account — check out directly against multiple independent transcripts of these interviews and are accurately preserved here.
Several genuinely documented and dramatically significant details, however, were missing from the prior version and are restored here: Mutwa describes the Chitauli as having a tail, and as sometimes possessing three eyes, with a central red eye in the forehead alongside two ordinary ones — a detail considerably more specific than the prior version’s generic eye description. His firsthand encounter account also describes unusually-jointed fingers, a misplaced thumb, and black, bird-like claws.
One clear factual error is corrected: the interviewer’s name was Rick Martin, not “Jorge Martin” — a real but entirely separate Puerto Rican UFO researcher unconnected to this specific interview. The claim that Chitauli use a sharpened claw to pierce the nose and “drink brains” could not be directly confirmed in the excerpts available for this correction and should be verified against the fuller transcript before being stated as settled Mutwa testimony.
RESEARCHER’S NOTES
Chitahuli/Chitauli — Well-Sourced, With Real Detail Restored
- Source Fidelity — Strong: The core narrative, the Darth Maul comparison, the Warrior/Royal caste distinction, and the sulfur-smell detail are all directly confirmed against multiple independent Mutwa interview transcripts.
- Name Correction: The interviewer was Rick Martin, not Jorge Martin — a factual error worth correcting given that Jorge Martin is a real, separate researcher whose name should not be misapplied here.
- Restored Detail: A tail and the three-eyed/central-red-eye variant are genuine, dramatic details from Mutwa’s own account that had been omitted from the prior version in favor of vaguer, less-specific description.
- Flagged for Further Verification: The nose-piercing “brain-drinking” ritual claim could not be confirmed in the excerpts located and should be checked against the full transcript rather than presented as certain.
- Fabrication Flag: Precise numeric biometrics and the “Level IV” classification are not part of Mutwa’s own testimony.
- Evidentiary Weight: Extensively documented oral tradition and firsthand personal testimony from a single, prominent named source (Mutwa), independently recorded by multiple interviewers. Filed as CONTACTEE/ORAL TRADITION — well-documented as testimony, not independently verifiable as fact.
This is one of the better-sourced entries in this archive’s Reptilian material — Mutwa’s own words check out closely against the original page in most respects. The corrections here are less about removing fabrication and more about restoring dramatic, genuine detail (the tail, the three eyes) that had been flattened out, and fixing one clear name error in the sourcing.
“They are tall. They walk with a—you see, the Grey aliens walk with a jerking motion, sir, as if there is something wrong with their legs. But the Chitauli walk very gracefully, like trees gently swaying in the wind.”
— Credo Mutwa, interviewed by Rick Martin.
