Late due to me working and not being arsed enough to get it done sooner.
Aswang
Demonic beats native to the Philippines, feared by the locals for their nauseating diet
Appearance: During the day they can take the form of a human and can effortlessly blend into society. Some hold jobs to further hide their true natures. At night, they show their true colors. Their skin becomes grey and leathery, long claws grow from the nails and the eyes become jet black. Their most recognizable feature is their abnormal tongue, which is twice as long as their body. The small tines on the tongue make a clicking sound as the pass the jaw, owing to the beasts nickname, the Tic-Tic.
Powers/Behavior: The Aswang is adept at hiding itself, both during the day and night. It's long claws and nimble body make it an adept climber, able to scale almost any vertical surface with little effort. It's diet consists entirely of flesh, which it gains from ambushing people. Most disturbing, however, is the diet of the female. After thirty, the female begins to suffer rapid aging and deterioration. To prevent this, they must consume fetuses. As in, UNBORN fetuses. Aswang tongues have a hollow tube inside, which is inserted into the pregnant victim. From there, the sharp tines blend and liquefy the fetus and the tube sucks up the resulting mess.
It has been observed that Aswangs have a certain sense of loyalty in that they will not attack friends or neighbors.
Weaknesses: Delightfully mortal. And significant strike will bring one down. Severing the tongue will also fell one quickly, as it contains a major artery that will cause it to bleed out. Aswangs also have a defining tell to make dispatching them during the day easier, reflections in their eyes always appear inverted.
I am so sorry for the mental images here. I wanted it to be as repulsive as the stories say. Anyway, I have the next entry planned, but zilch after that. Feel free to suggest. It will be up when I'm most Wednesday.
