Wesen: A

Wesen in the A category.



Anubis:

Anubis is a Jackal-like Wesen and was once, in Ancient Egypt, believed to be a god, leading to the mummification of many still-woged Anubi (plural of Anubis?). 

Features: 

When they woge, their body, unlike most canine Wesen, is almost totally hairless, and their skin color is pale beige. Their most striking feature is a long snout that ends in a dog-like nose. The shape of the skull itself changes to look much more canine than human. The mouth of the Anubis is filled with sharp teeth and long canines that, paired with clawed hands, can cause significant bodily harm. Another tell-tale aspect of their appearance is a pair of large, pointed ears that stand up and extend far above the top of the head.


 



Aswang:

An Aswang (ah-SWAH-ng) or Tik-tik (tik-TIK) is a ghoul-like Wesen. They are indigenous to the Philippine Islands and exist within mainstream Filipino mythology.

Their tongues (below) serve three purposes, each related to the grisly habit they are infamous for. After chewing Valerian Root, Aswangs will use their tongues to pierce the navel of a pregnant woman and inject the chemical properties into the woman, tranquilizing her. From there the Aswang will use their tongues to suck the infant out of the womb, but not before sucking up a large amount of amniotic fluid. Under normal circumstances, there would be a high risk of the amniotic sack breaking, which would cause labor or a miscarriage. Since Aswangs do not have this problem, it would mean their tongues are fine and precise as surgical tools. Traditionally, the eldest son of a female Aswang must give up his first conceived child for his mother to consume in order to extend her lifespan. Without doing this act, she will die within a month. The tradition dates back hundreds of years, but some Aswang believe it is too barbaric for modern times.

Features:

When Woged, Aswang are bald, ghoul-like creatures with pale grey skin and a bat-like nose. Their featureless, silver eyes glow faintly in the dark. The vertebrae along their backs enlarge to the point where they form a noticeable ridge, and they possess needle-like fangs and claws.

Aswang are notable for their black, forked, proboscis tongue that is able to stretch several times the length of their bodies. The tongue is designed to pierce flesh and can move solids in both directions through its long tube.
