Segben is a creature from the legends of the Philippines who is
considered a vampire, but its description varied depending on the region you
are in. But commonly it is depicted as a
huge, dark skinned creature similar to a goat but with no horns. Unlike other vampires who can assume the form
of a human during the day, the Segben tends to be invisible during the day.
Segben is a type of an energy vampire.
It attacks at night and can immediately kill its victim by looking at it
or by eating its shadow. The mere
presence of a segben can drain the life energy of a dying person using it to
maintain its existence. Those kids who
allegedly died due to the attack of a segben will have their hearts craft into
an enchanted amulet. The segben does not
usually eat flesh and drink blood of its prey (though in some cases it
did). It prefers to stuff itself with
charcoal and corpses. In the instance
that you spotted a segben in its goat form, the segben would act like it was
eating grass.
The creature also has a commendable speed that it used to escape any
attempt of capture. It also has a shape
shifting ability but its ability always presented a flaw. Whenever he changes into a frog, the legs of
the segben appears to be longer, in instance that he changes into a goat the
ears also appears to be longer and its hips are higher than the shoulder. But it is also easy to distinguish from the
other since its presence always releases a disgusting smell.
In order to drive a way a segben, the smell and sight of smoke is proven
effective. Also the strong smell of
spices and the sounds of the clanging knife can ward of the segben.
