	Manananggal - Monstropedia - the largest encyclopedia about monsters
		A manananggal is described as being an older, beautiful woman, capable of severing its upper torso in order to fly into the night with huge bat-like wings to prey on unsuspecting pregnant women in their homes; using an elongated proboscis-like tongue, it sucks the hearts of fetuses or blood of an unsuspecting, sleeping victim.
		A notable difference between a Penanggal and Manananggal is that a Penanggal detaches only her head with her lungs, stomach and intestines attached to it while leaving the body in a pre-prepared container filled with vinegar to preserve the body against rapid decomposition.
		A manananggal is also said to create other manananggals by tricking ordinary persons to drink the manananggal's blood, similar to the vampires' making an ordinary person to drink vampire blood.
