Philippine Mythological Creature: Yumud

Yumud 

Yumud of the Manobo ethnic group

A Manobo (parts of the Agusan valley) mythical creature. 

A water wraith that occasionally takes the form of a long-haired woman. It is a harmless spirit that lives beneath the water's surface in stony, deep regions that are typically pools. She is the owner of the color white and occasionally manifests as a masculine deity or spirit. It keeps an eye on the fish. People drown when they offended the Yumud.
