Abstract
We construct odd-dimensional extremal charged black hole solutions with a twisted as an extra dimension on generalized Euclidean Taub-NUT spaces. There exists a null hypersurface where an expansion for an outgoing null geodesic congruence vanishes, then these spacetimes look like black holes. We show that the metrics admit extension across the horizon, but some components of Riemann curvature diverge there if the dimension is higher than five. The singularity is relatively mild so that an observer along a free-fall geodesic can traverse the horizon. We also show solutions with a positive cosmological constant.
