Aswang (Vampire)The Vampiric Aswang is a creature that has a sharp point in her tongue which can pierce into the skin. The term Aswang is a generic term for monsters in the Philippines.
It appears as pretty humans by day, but becomes an ugly creature with long sharp tongue. The vampiric aswang has a black bird which flies around the place to look for potential victims. It reports back to the vampiric aswang who would then visit the place of their potential victim. The vampiric aswang would climb on the roof where her tongue is set loose to prick a victim’s skin, after which they would suck its blood. After consuming the blood of a human, their stomachs expand that resembles a pregnant woman. |
