Southeast asian vampiric ghost

Manananggal

Pontianak

Aswang

Filed here because: The Manananggal, a creature already documented separately, is in many tellings treated as one specific type or manifestation of Aswang rather than a wholly distinct being, reflecting how the broader Aswang label absorbs numerous regional variants under one name.

Krasue

Filed here because: Closely related spirits appear across mainland and island Southeast Asia, including the Penanggalan of Malay and Indonesian tradition and the Ahp (Khmer: អាប) of Cambodian folklore, marking the Krasue as the Thai instance of a wider regional motif rather than an isolated legend.
