Ragnarok and Mythological Creatures

ang pinaka

In last night’s episode of Ang Pinaka (GMA News TV Channel 11), Rovilson Fernandez listed down the Top 10 Ang Pinaka-Scariest Mythological Creatures (in the Philippines). The creatures of the night that were included in the list are:

  1. Aswang
  2. Manananggal
  3. Tiyanak
  4. Kapre
  5. Batibat (a.k.a. Bangungot)
  6. Sigbin
  7. Tikbalang
  8. Tiktik (a.k.a. Wakwak)
  9. Duwende
  10. Santelmo

I am only sure of the ranks of the Aswang, Manananggal and Santelmo. Items 3-9 are listed here randomly and not the way Ang Pinaka listed it.

While I was watching this episode, I remember the upcoming Philippine Map for Ragnarok Online. It’s called Malaya (Being Free). It features some of the most recognizable mythological creatures as well including:

  1. Bungisngis
  2. Manananggal
  3. Tiyanak
  4. Buwaya
  5. Bangungot
  6. Mangkukulam
  7. Tikbalang
  8. Wakwak
  9. Engkanto

It’s almost the same list, right? We don’t know yet when the Philippine Map will be implemented in Ragnarok Online, but we’re definitely excited.

The creator of Ragnarok Online is a Korean company named Gravity. It’s a great honor to have a foreign company include our local folklore into the gaming world.

Mabuhay and thank you Gravity! Please visit also Otakultura to know more about this patch.
