Description
In Filipino folklore, particularly from the Tagalog region, the bayugo is some sort of invisible creature that hangs out or visits houses at night. When it does show itself it is described as a humanoid with red skin and is often mistaken as a demon. The bayugo has a weird habit concerning sleeping people, especially children. It hits or punches the heads of children or persons who lay their heads beyond the edge of the sleeping mat or higher than those of their elders. Why the bayugo does this is never explained although some say it was probably made up by the elders to encourage proper sleeping etiquette among children.
