The Pugot (“decapitated one”) is a mythical fiend that is found in the folklore of the Ilocos region of the Philippines. It can assume various shapes such as hogs, dogs or even as humans. However, it usually appears as a black, big headless being. The creature usually resides in dark places, trees or deserted houses.
the Pugot can also move at great speeds, feeding on snakes and insects that it finds among the trees. It feeds by thrusting food through its neck stump.
Thankfully Pugot usually avoid humans they usually stayed deep in the forest. In the Ifugao myth “Tulud Nimputul: The Self-Beheaded” where he appears to the human hero. He was fed by the hero with chopped chicken meat that was mixed with blood. And as thanks it gave a tip for his quest.
. A weird quirk of this being is it loves stuffing things into its stump to make itself feel better.
