Ball-ball

In the folklore of the Philippine province, it is a creature stealing and eating corpses. It has sharp claws and teeth to dig up graves and tear clothes on the dead. It is also endowed with a wonderful nose, and from afar feels the smell of dead bodies. A terrible smell constantly emanates from his mouth.

In the beliefs it is said that instead of stolen bodies, in order to deceive people, Bal-bal puts fragments of banana tree trunks into the devastated graves.
