Bakunawa
Bakunawa is a serpent-like dragon in Philippine mythology. People in the Philippines believed to be the cause of eclipses, earthquakes, rains, and wind. The movements of the bakunawa are served as a geomantic calendar system for ancient Filipinos and were part of the shamanistic rituals of the Babylan. It actually appears as a giant sea serpent with a mouth the size of a lake, whiskers, gills, a red tongue, small wires at the sides, and yet has two wings (so that it will fly), and ash-gray. I notice that not just every people in our country believes this myth and some people don't know who is this scary or whatever in the Philippines. I mean the reasons why people might not believe this myth just because he flies and also he eats moon doesn't mean it's not real. For me, it's really scared to look at it. Anyways, It is what it is to someone who really believes in myth.
