Quick, Supernatural creatures thread
post description btw
The manananggal is described as scary, often hideous, usually depicted as female, and always capable of severing its upper torso and sprouting huge bat-like wings to fly into the night in search of its victims. The word manananggal comes from the Tagalog word tanggal, which means "to remove" or "to separate", which literally translates as "remover" or "separator". In this case, "one who separates itself". The name also originates from an expression used for a severed torso.
The manananggal is said to favor preying on sleeping, pregnant women, using an elongated proboscis-like tongue to suck the hearts of fetuses, or the blood of someone who is sleeping. The severed lower torso is left standing, and is the more vulnerable of the two halves. Sprinkling salt, smearing crushed garlic or ash on top of the standing torso is fatal to the creature. The upper torso then would not be able to rejoin itself and would perish by sunrise.[1][2][3]

Pinoyfag here. just replied to say that this fucker scared me shitless growing up in the Philippines. Filipino people treat Mananangals as true cryptids, and not as just mythological beings. Similar to how some Americans view Bigfoot, or how some British people view the Loch Ness monster. fact or fiction, even now a majority of the population firmly believes in their existence. and with the mysterious disappearances and reports of disemboweled corpses being found, I'm inclined to believe in this.
