Amaranhig

If the West has zombies, here in the Philippines, there is what some locals from the Visayas call the Maranhig (also Amalanhig or Amaranhig), our native version of the undead. the Amaranhig is an aswang who has “failed to transfer their monstrosity causing them to rise from their graves to kill humans by biting their necks.” The description was based on a list of mythical creatures.
