❤❤❤wonderful...you can extend this topic by including the following: 1. The segbin, 2. The okoy or merman, 3. The santilmo, 4.the trabungko, 5. The mangkukulam, 6. The agta or the dark kapre, 7.the dwende or the gnomes, 8. The wakwak, 9. The ik ik, and the 10. Bal bal. There might be some slight similarities among somevog those mentioned above but the names themselves warrant their own uniqueness...just for added info...aswang is a general category of vampire like creatures in filipino folklore and it has some types which includes the manananggal, bal bal (aswang in its human form), wak wak (a birdlike aswang that makes a sound like wak ..wak ..wak ., hence the name, and similarly, ik ik, the manlalayug, (aswang that wrestles their victims to death), and the manlilikos (an aswang having long and snakelike hair that coils and strangle their victims)...

I got some Middle Easter Monsters and myths. Falak - A fiery serpent rests in the depths of hell, lying in wait to swallow the heavens, the earth and hell itself, holding off doing so out of fear of God. Bahamut- On top of a giant whale is a bull carrying a precious stone on it's back. Standing upon the bull is an angel holding out the six hells, the earth and the seven heavens. Rukh - The 13th century venetian explorer, Marco Polo, described the rukh or coc as a giant bird that was so huge it could carry an elephant in it's claws. Dandan - The fish has the ability to swallow an entire ship in one gulp and is sometimes compared to the megalodon giant shark that lived tens of millions of years ago. Shadhavar - The Shadhavar, also know as Sadhuzag or Aras, is thought to have originated in what is now Iraq. Resembling a gazelle, it has a single hollowed horn with 42 hollows (72 in some legends), which create an enchanting flute like melody.

Lots of misinformation being peddled here. The rending of your very first creature, the aswang, is so very off. So let's not talk anymore about the rest. I don't know where you got your information from! Definitely not subscribing or giving you a 'like'.
