Hanagob

The Hanagob is a type of male Aswang that is considered pure blood and royalty. The Hanagob being pure blood aswang  can have the potential to be Aring Aswang The other names for the "Haring Aswang" (Aswang King) are "Pinunong Aswang" (Aswang Leader), "Ama" (Father), "Supremo" (Supreme Leader), and "Apo" (Elder).

In oral mythology and folklore, the Hanagob is a powerful male Aswang, often described as royalty due to his pure bloodline. As a pure-blooded Aswang, the Hanagob has the potential to become the Aring Aswang or "Aswang King." Other titles for this figure include Pinunong Aswang (Aswang Leader).

Some stories suggest that a Hanagob originates from the Bangkilan variant of Aswang, though he is male, unlike the usually female Bangkilan. According to certain legends, a Hanagob is an extremely rare offspring, born from the union of an ancient pure-blood female Bangkilan and a male Gabunan, both powerful Aswang types that are traditionally natural enemies. This unlikely combination of two opposing Aswang bloodlines makes the birth of a Hanagob a one-in-a-million occurrence, mixing powerful traits from both lineages.

Pinunong Aswang – The Pinunong Aswang or Hanagob, also called the Nunong Aswang or Haring Aswang, is considered the highest-ranking male aswang. The bloodline of the aswang kings is extremely pure, descending from ancient aswang. In the olden days, they might have been comparable to rajahs or datus, but instead of ruling over humans, they govern common aswang, awok, kiwig,asbo,tiktik,wakwak and other creatures of darkness, who serve and reside under their authority.
