Description
In Sambal (Filipino ethnolinguistic group living primarily in the province of Zambales and the Pangasinense municipalities of Bolinao and Anda) folklore, the ani-ani is a bearded giant eighteen or twenty feet tall. It can transform into a carabao, a goat or a dog. Like the kapre it hangs out in huge trees and smokes a large cigar. The ani-ani is distinguished by its flat nose, thick lips, big clawed fingers, legs as thick as medium-sized tree trunks and a smell described as goat stench. It likes to block paths in the forest.
