Poo

The Poo is a monster from the legends of the Waray people in the Philippines. They are a variation of Aswang that look like a normal person, and have no distinctions like wings or fangs. They are described as being similar to the Wakwak, but this can mean a number of different things across various cultures in the Philippines. They are thought to come out at the full moon. They will shout “poo” when still far from a house and say it again as they gets closer. By the fourth “poo” they will be inside the house. They will steal a child if that parents don’t wake up but will leave if they do because they are too scared to confront them. They are also thought to kill those who are home alone.
