It’s so cool learning about mythical beings of various cultures, especially when they bear some similarities to one another. A cool sort of convergent mythology.

[lanslarrazabaldemartinez]

We pronounce it as Shokoy here in the Philippines ...

... And yes, they are scary in deep, rural areas.

there is another water based ceature in philippine mythology called berberoka. they are water figures who drowned their victim by swalloing the water in rivers and when the victim thought it is a shallow river, they will release the water like a canon from their mouth.

another siyokoy like creature in Philippine mythology are the kataw, unlike siyokoy, they are more human like fish people with feet instead of tails except they have gills in their neck.
