Halimaw Part I

Halimaw (pron. Ha-Lee-Mao; Tagalog for "Monster") are a subrace of Demons known to be incredibly violent and are well-known to be the equivalent of Monsters in this Multiverse. Halimaws are a type of Demon and thus are Pantheons. The term 'Halimaw' is a folk category by the Aswangs which eventually became a type of Demon closely related to the Aswangs. Unlike most Demons, they have a special ability to transform into their Human and Demon forms through shapeshifting. They also cannot transform under the sun.

Aswangs

Aswangs are a race of deadly chimera-like monsters infected by the Ticking Mold. They have dog-like heads, dark blue fur, black eyes with bright blue pupils, bat wings, long black claws, prehensile forked tongues, and monkey's tails when transformed. They have the ability to regenerate and are known to spit a certain type of acid to liquefy their prey from the inside. They are the second-most powerful type of Halimaw.

The only difference with an Aswang's Human form from a regular Human is the way light reflects from their eyes, and instead of being right-side up, it is upside-down.

Lifecycle

Aswangs usually prefer strong partners with incredible determination and strong will. After mating, the females, or the ones they've impregnated, will eventually become pregnant with an egg and will give birth in 3 months. The egg will be incubated for one day and eventually will hatch an offspring, known as a Tyanak (pron. "Chanak"). Aswangs are usually immortal, and their blood becomes more potent over time. Their blood results with their mates, regardless of being Aswang or not, to becoming immortal.

Food

Aswangs prefer to eat meat. They also have a certain liking for animal fetuses, liver, hearts, and other organs.

Behavior

Aswangs are loosely based from the ones in Filipino legend. They are usually stubborn, arrogant, and incredibly angry and rude. They often love to fight and are known to be incredibly cruel and exhibit psychotic tendencies. They are incredibly violent and love to disembowel and crush their enemies. They are sadistic, cruel, and completely heartless.

Vampire

Vampires are pale humans whose true forms are completely unknown. They burn under the sun regardless of form. Their human forms are usually in the form of pale skin with red eyes.

Vampires are actually more like a virus. Yes, they can have children, but their children are usually sub-types called Daywalkers. Vampires cannot reproduce with each other, and require to reproduce with Human beings. In order to create more Vampires, they usually bite a Human and infect them with the Blood Demon Mold. They are the most powerful beings in every version of Earth.

Food

They are known to drink blood and love to eat Human flesh.

Behavior

Vampires are known to be soulless and are absolutely evil. They are known to reject their humanity and are pessimists, seeing the world as a joke and taking nothing seriously. They are insane, cruel, and heartless.

Daywalkers tend to retain their humanity and retain their Souls.

Frankenstein's Monster

Franks, or Frankenstein's Monsters, are a race of Halimaw discovered by Victor Frankenstein, who brought a Human back to life from Hell. A female is called a Bride. They were brought back to life by a strain of the Blood Demon Mold known as Frankenstein's Mold, which brings the Frank back to life. Males are called Grooms and females are called Brides.

They are undead and immortal, and are completely unkillable as punishment continues from Hell.

Food

Unneeded.

Behavior

Franks retain their personalities from life.

Zombie and the Zombie King

A Zombie is a fungus-infected Human infected by the Zombie King Mold. They are Humans who come back to life as mindless beings controlled by the Mold itself, who identifies themself as the Zombie King.

Lifecycle

The Mold is a hive mind, and thus, reproduces by releasing its spores into the blood of Humans. They are usually eaten by accident. But, for quicker reproduction, the Zombie is known to bite the Human to release its spores into the Human's blood.

Food

They usually eat Human brains and replace the Human's brain with Mold. Once the Human body is completely rotten, the corpse becomes eaten by the Mold who spreads its spores once more in the air, hopefully to infect.

Behavior

Undead, mindless, and terrifying.

Wolfman

The Wolfman is a type of Halimaw infected by the Fang Mold. The Wolfmen are known to become wild due to the Full Moon, which is similar to an addictive vice. They can willingly transform into a Wolf, and only a Wolf, and back to a Human and a Humanoid Wolf. However, the Full Moon, combined with meat, makes them violent, wild, and incredibly crazy.

Lifecycle and Behavior

Wolfmen usually give birth to a litter of pups. They can turn Humans into Wolfmen as well through bites, making the Human into a Beta. Wolfmen who are born Wolfmen have the power to become an Omega, when leaving a pack, and becomes an Alpha when they bite Humans to create their own pack. When a Wolfman is born a Beta, they will remain a Beta but has the choice to begin their own pack.

Wolfmen are very different from Aswangs. They are peaceful, kind, and protective of their packs. Packs can range from 50 to 700 families. They usually live in communities and avoid looking at the Full Moon all together. In order to avoid becoming Werewolves, which is a "High" or "Cracked" Wolfman, they stay indoors under the Full Moon and practice vegetarianism and exercises. They are the least violent race of Halimaw.

Food

Wolfmen prefer vegetables but love meat, as long as they eat meat in a controlled manner.

The Mold

The Mold is a strange substance that was first introduced as the origin of the Splooge, which is an evolved version of the Mold. It is the fungus found in the blood of the Aswangs that, when added to an unknown type of Fungus, would pollinate the fungus and create the Splooge.
