Cryptid of the Day: Wak-Wak

Description: Imagine a crow that can suck blood, accompanied by a powerful witch, and made of metal. This is the Wak-Wak, named after the sound it makes. In order to kill the mighty bird, you will have to remove its internal organs.

Wakwak

“Sketch of Bat Harpy”  © Johanna André, accessed at her deviantArt page here

[Man, Philippine mythology has a lot of winged vampire creatures. As opposed to the manananggal, which is in PFRPG, I wanted to make the wakwak a living creature as opposed to another undead. I decided that “animal body + human head” made it a magical beast like a sphinx instead of a monstrous humanoid like a harpy.]

Wakwak CR 5 CE Magical Beast This hideous creature has the head of a leering old woman growing from the body of a great furry bat. Its legs are tipped with sharp claws and a long tongue whips from between its slavering jaws. Its wings have a razor-sharp edge, stained brown with dried blood.

Wakwaks are horrific vampiric beasts native to jungles. Unlike many such blood-drinkers, wakwaks are vicious fighters and are as likely to outright kill a victim as they are to leave them drained but alive. Although wakwaks can suck the blood from victims delicately, they are every bit as eager to lick up the leavings of a gore-soaked corpse. Their favorite food is a still-beating humanoid heart, and such victuals give these creatures an unnatural vitality.

Male wakwaks do exist, although they are very rare; about ten females exist for every male. Mating rights are the subject of brutal fights between females that often leave multiple wakwaks dead. Wakwaks are poor parents, leaving their children on their own shortly after birth. Even baby wakwaks have shapeshifting powers, however, and juveniles typically live out their lives disguised as bats until they are strong enough to tackle large prey. 

A wakwak stands about three feet tall and weighs 40 pounds. Their wingspan stretches out to ten feet. They are clumsy on the ground, scrabbling on their wings and feet like a bat, but are very maneuverable in the air. Nocturnal, they typically sleep in high trees during the day while transformed into a bat.
