Philippine Mythical Creatures | Tabula Supernaturalis
A guide to Philippine mythical creatures and folklore beings, including Aswang, Manananggal, Bakunawa, Tikbalang, Kapre, night spirits, and shapeshifters.
Philippine mythical creatures in this atlas move through Visayan, Tagalog, mountain, coastal, and barrio story worlds. Many entries connect night travel, pregnancy danger, tree spirits, horse-headed tricksters, moon-eating dragons, witches, and beings whose human appearance hides a predatory or sacred second form.
The page keeps regional names visible while comparing transformation, night feeding, forest confusion, and cosmic serpent motifs across Aswang, Manananggal, Bakunawa, and other Philippine traditions. The grouped folios keep each figure attached to its own location, source trail, and cultural setting. Similar motifs are presented as points for comparison, not as proof that distinct communities share one generic monster.
