Aswang (Werebeast)The Weredog Aswang is a creature that turns into a dog-like or hog-like appearance at night while searching for its prey. The term Aswang is a generic term for monsters in the Philippines.
It is a man by day but morphs into a creature that looks like a dog or a hog. Whenever they attack their victims, their mouth dribbles. They have fangs that they use to pierce the neck of their victims and sharp claws to cut the flesh. The weredog aswang is originally an ordinary man that became an aswang after inhaling another weredog’s breath. Some weredog aswangs also ecame one after either eating a food or drinking on a cup that belongs to an aswang. Upon digesting, something eneter into his stomach and grew into a chicken-like creature that craves for human flesh. The weredog aswang is scared of spices, sour foods, knives hanging and thick smoke coming from burning items. |
