			Meanwhile, another Manananggal attacked a woman and her infant child as they were returning to their village, though fortunately the pair were saved by [[John Young]], who shot the Manananggal with his [[musket]]. This knocked off its mask and led the villagers to realize that the "Manananggal" was one of the men from their settlement who had been forcefully conscripted into Rajah's resistance. [[Edward Kenway]] subsequently incapacitated the man with his [[blowpipe]], and he was brought inside to receive medical attention.<ref name="EP 63"/>

A '''''Manananggal''''' (lit. "remover") is a mythical creature in [[Philippines|Filipino]] folklore said to be able to separate its upper torso from the lower part of its body. Most stories about Manananggals describe them as {{Wiki|vampire}}-like creatures, possessing sharp fangs, wings, and an insatiable thirst for blood.<ref name="Wiki">{{WP|Manananggal}}</ref>

==History==
In 1725, the [[Visayans|Visayan]] chief [[Rajah]], during his occupation of [[Monkey Island]], had several of his men disguise themselves as Manananggals using leaves, tree branches, and wooden masks in order to intimidate their enemies. These warriors were further empowered by the [[crescent amulet]], a [[Piece of Eden]] in Rajah's possession, enhancing their strength, agility, and stamina to maintain the illusion that they were supernatural beings and discourage opposition against his resistance.<ref name="EP 59">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 59|Episode 59]]</ref>

After the members of the [[Zhawang Corporation|Zhang Wei Union]] were temporarily stranded on Monkey Island upon being attacked by Rajah's resistance on their way to [[Cebu]], the chief sent his Manananggal warriors to board their [[ship]], the ''[[Fenghuang]]'', and slaughter the entire crew.<ref name="EP 61">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 61|Episode 61]]</ref> During a storm, the Manananggals were initially able to gain the upper hand over their enemies, who could not use their [[firearm]]s due to the [[gunpowder]] having gotten wet from the rain. [[Shimazu Saito]] dueled one of the creatures and managed to slice it in half with her [[katana]], but its two halves continued to attack her, making the crew believe that they were fighting real Manananggals.<ref name="EP 62">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 62|Episode 62]]</ref>

Eventually, thanks to the [[Volley gun|multi-barreled cannons]] built by [[Yun Pyeong-Gyu]], the ''Fenghuang''{{'}}s crew won the battle and killed most of their attackers, taking the survivors captive. Upon inspecting one of the captured Manananggals, Saito and Yun realized that they were regular humans empowered by the crescent amulet, which made them wary of the Piece of Eden's capabilities.<ref name="EP 63">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 63|Episode 63]]</ref>

==Behind the scenes==
The word ''manananggál'' comes from the {{Wiki|Tagalog language|Tagalog}} word ''tanggál'', which means "to remove" or "to separate". As such, ''manananggál'' literally translates to "remover", "separator", or "one who separates itself".<ref name="Wiki"/>
