Tambo can refer to: Tambo: (son of Tony Little) In modern mythology he is known as the god of nick-names. Having over 100,000 himself his real name was forgotten long ago. It is believed that he had the power to summon his nicknames as actual people to do his bidding making the location of the original Tambo impossible to find. The only way to kill a Tambo is to somehow remove its hat, causing a fit so powerful that the beast turns to stone. The Tambo came from the province of Rondout a place in which a large monster lives under the main hall and sustains itself by consuming the names of Rondouts occupants, this may explain the origins of Tambo's nicknames. The connection to the hat also comes from the homeland of Tambo. In the back of Rondout the residents are tied to a tree for 8 years and a wild puma circles the tree attacking those tied to it. Freedom is only granted from the tree once the resident has survived the puma for 8 years and then is granted the hat of freedom.
