Many-eyed nocturnal beasts. They appear to be primarily benevolent, despite the occasional description of soul-thievery.
Daligmata from Filipino Folklore.
Her eyes can see everything - past, present, and future - and she’s often called upon by shamans (babaylans) to help find lost souls during spiritual rituals.
In ancient times, people believed her eyes could heal illnesses, especially those affecting sight, and she was revered for her ability to bring justice by exposing the truth. With each eye representing a human, Daligmata watched over people, protecting those who honored her and punishing those who acted without respect. A silent yet powerful diwata, she continues to be remembered in Visayan culture.
Her story is a reminder of the deep connections between humans and the spirit world, the importance of foresight, and the role of respect in maintaining balance.
