Manananggal Horror of the Isles

Meet the Manananggal Horror of the Isles

Across the windswept coastlines of distant tropical realms, there are tales whispered only after dusk — stories of a creature so feared that even seasoned adventurers hesitate to speak her name. In the islands where the moon hangs low and the sea hums with ancient magic, villagers speak of the Manananggal, a night-flying predator whose upper torso rips free from its earthly half to stalk the darkness on leathery wings.

This resin miniature, the Manananggal Horror of the Isles, captures the duality of this legendary creature with chilling accuracy:
— One form stands tall and graceful, parasol in hand, the perfect illusion of a serene island maiden… until her wings unfurl.
— The other kneels mid-transformation, mouth open in a feral scream as her torso tears free, sinew and cloth ripping like wet parchment.

It is a creature forged from folklore, fear, and the deep imagination of storytellers across generations — now brought to your tabletop with cinematic detail.

Whether your campaign draws inspiration from Southeast Asian mythology, horror fantasy, or shadow-haunted coastal lands, this miniature brings a unique flavor rarely seen in TTRPG monster collections.

From the Crafty Llama Tables

Night falls over the fishing village. The party, exhausted from travel, retires to a humble stilt-house near the shore. But the bard wakes first — not from a nightmare, but from a sound. A wet, tearing whisper, like cloth pulled apart.

Outside, something moves against the moonlit sky.

From the treetops, a winged silhouette hovers above the nipa palms, searching. The lower half of its body sits abandoned in the forest underbrush — a clue only the most perceptive adventurer would notice before sunrise.

When she dives, it’s not with the clumsiness of a beast, but the precision of a predator who has done this for centuries.

Will your party discover the truth?
Will they track the creature’s severed half before dawn?
Or will the Manananggal Horror of the Isles return again and again, each night hungrier than the last?

Bring this legendary terror to life on your tabletop.
