Mandurugo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mandurugo is a mythical being from Philippine folklore, similar to a vampire.
A variety of Aswang (Filipino shapeshifter), the Mandurugo resembles a vampire. They are usually young and beautiful women by day, but develop wings and long, sharp tongues by night, which they use to either make cuts in a man's neck, or prick the inside of his mouth while kissing him to obtain blood. The stories, popular to Tagalog and Bicol speakers, have many variations.[1] Sometimes the Mandurugo marries unsuspecting men to prey upon them,[2] or may just select one husband, using him as a cover for her blood drinking activities, flying to other villages to feed.[3]
