Sigbin

The Sigbin or Sigben is a creature in Philippine mythology said to come out at night to suck the blood of victims from their shadows.

It resembles a hornless goat, but has very large ears which it can clap like a pair of hands and a long, flexible tail that can be used as a whip.

It is believed to issue forth from its lair during Holy Week, looking for children that it will kill for their hearts, which it fashions into amulets.

Other theories suggests that the sigbin might be a vagrant species of macropodidae living in seclusion that made its way to the Philippines from Australia due to migration way back millions of years ago.

Some theories debunked it as for the fact that the Wallace Line is responsible for separating species that exists within the areas of Sulawesi, Lombok, New Guinea, and Australia from Mainland Southeast Asia, Borneo, Java, Sumatra, Bali, and The Philippines.
