Description

Ang Pag-amo sa Tikbalang
Taming the Tikbalang*

*This is the same creature in my "Night Watcher" series

Pen & Ink

The Tikbalang is a mythological beast that is half man and half horse. A creature of the night, it has the knack of scaring passersby, but otherwise it is harmless.

In some stories, the tikbalang is a creature with magical powers and in others it is a protector of the forests especially the mangroves.

Anyway, it is said that on a full moon at midnight, if one chances upon a tikbalang on must ride the creature. It will keep on bucking and even fly into the air, but if you survive the ride, the tikbalang will be forever your servant and protector.
