KIWIG


This is not a standard Tagalog word but it refers to a werebeast (like the werewolf or lycanthrope of the West) in the Visayan province of Aklan.


Instead of turning into a wolf, a kiwig changes into a black dog or a wild boar at midnight.




Another Visayan monster:


Segben (in the Waray language)
a hornless goat with large ears that clap like hands
body odor is really bad
appears only at night when its eyes glow in the dark
waits for people to die the way vultures do
