Encyclopedia Venatoria: Vampire: Manananggal

A Manananggal is a peculiar breed of Vampire from the Philippines. It is a remarkably strange breed, one which appears normal during the day but assumes a monstrous alternative form during the night. In this case, said transformation consists of detaching the upper body from the legs and pelvis, developing leathery, mummy-like skin, and growing misshapen bat-like wings and a proboscis which projects from the throat and is used to drain blood, much like a mosquito. Its weaknesses are standard, including an inability to survive at dawn without reattaching itself to its other half.
