Tamawo

Tamawo, a variant of Encanto, is a mythological creature in Philippine mythology, commonly known as Encanto. Believed to be malevolent yet exceptionally handsome albino-like beings, Tamawo exhibit very pale to white skin that sparkles under direct sunlight. They also possess light-colored hair, fangs, and may have unusual features such as pointy, leaf-shaped ears, high-bridged noses, fair skin, and the absence of a philtrum. These mythical beings primarily reside near the sea or any body of water.

Ang mga Tamawo sa mitolohiyang Pilipino ay isang uri ng Engkanto, Sila ay lipi ng mga pawang lalakeng engkanto. Mapuputi na tila anak araw, Kaakit akit na mga lalakeng engkanto na may matutulis na kuko at pangil, ang kanilang tenga ay hugis matutulis na dahon.

Description and Appearance:

Tamawo is a subject of both fascination and fear in Philippine lore. According to mythology, this creature demonstrates sexual dimorphism, with their race predominantly composed of males. Clad in gold and adorned with a putong (crown) and bahag (g-string) resembling the attire of pre-colonial Visayan nobles, Tamawo are depicted as extremely alluring. They are often pictured as non-muscular, beautiful men with pale-colored eyes, fair complexion, and pale or golden hair.
