Manananggal is a Demon in the Megami Tensei franchise.
Profile
Origin
The Manananggal is an aswang of Filipino folklore, especially that of the Visayan Islands. Historical accounts were recorded by Spanish priests writing down the history and customs of the Tagalog people; the name was recorded as magtatangal by Juan de Plasencia in 1589 and by Domingo de los Santos in 1703. The term Manananggal originated from the root word tanggal which means "to remove" or "to detach", referring to how the aswang detaches its lower body to reveal its true form.

A witch whose lore originated in the Philippines.
It masquerades as a beautiful woman during the day but transforms into a blood-sucking monster at night. It has the ability to separate its upper and lower body, and can sprout bat wings from its back to fly in search of humans to suck their blood. It is said that the Manananggal preys on unborn fetuses in particular, using its proboscis-like tongue to open the wombs of pregnant women, wherein it will suck the fetus's blood, or devour it outright.
