The Agaras is a type of Aswang that feeds on weaker type of Aswang popular in oral mythology and folklore

Agaras are powerful yet cursed types of aswang. There are only a few Agaras among aswang. They are strong and fast, and other types of aswang despise them because Agaras feed on lower types of aswang and other beings such as fairies. There are few of this type of aswang because when an Agaras dies, its spirit Mutya ng Agaras(black pearl or black chick) or offspring lies dormant, waiting for a worthy successor or heir to inherit its dark power. They have the ability to command or control lower types of aswang.

When they bite a victim, the filth and toxins from their saliva spread infection. The toxins cause weakness and make it difficult for the victim to fight back.
