Lore
Sigbin is a hornless, goat-like creature in Cebuano (Philippine) folklore, walking backward with a long tail and sucking blood through shadows. Kept secretly by certain families (aswang-like) as a familiar to bring wealth and good fortune, it emerges during Holy Week or at night. Sigbin can turn invisible and is linked to the underworld or dark magic. It represents hidden prosperity gained through supernatural pacts and the dangers of greed or forbidden alliances. In legends, it embodies mystery, wealth, and the shadowy side of Philippine rural tradition.
