- Mandurugos whose long tongues slither down through cracks in the ceiling to suck out the souls of unsuspecting sleepers at night
- Busos who noisily gather in cemeteries to dig up and consume freshly-buried corpses
- Tiktiks who swoop, hop and crawl as they prey on babies, the elderly and pregnant women
- Batibats who drop from the house beams at night to suffocate sleepers with their huge bodies
