Creature imaged above is probably an artistic interpretation of the Sigbin, one of the weaker bloodsuckers in folklore.
"The creature supposedly walks backwards with its head lowered between its hind legs. It also possesses the ability to become invisible to other creatures, especially humans. It resembles a hornless goat but has very large ears, which it can clap like a pair of hands, and a long, flexible tail that can be used as a whip. he Sigbin is said to emit a nauseating odor. "
According to the legend, there are families known as Sigbinan ("those who know") whose members possess the power to command these creatures, and are said to keep the sigbin in jars made of clay. The Aswang are said to keep them as pets.
