[Tikbalang Expert]

I spent 90% of my life studying Tikbalang.

What! I might be imagining things.

I look younger than I am because of my baby face. Ha ha ha~

Trust!! They say faith will bring you luck.

Ha ha... You ask the right question.

I'm a specialist in that field. Ask me anything.

Have you... ever been fooled by anyone around you? Why can't you believe someone's word for it? Really, ask me anything.

I think this is enough explanation for now. You wouldn't understand other highly sophisticated topics with specific terminology and all anyway.

Oh! Do you have any other questions?

What do you think? Impressed at how much I know? Come by anytime when you have any more questions.

Tikbalangs have a way to confuse travelers when they meet them by making them turn in circles regardless of wherever and how far they travel.

They are mischievous creatures.

But of course there is a way to stop their pranks. You know about the Inside-out Shirt? You can either wear your top inside-out.

Or go on your way quietly without disrupting the Tikbalangs.

Ha ha ha ha~ But everyone knows adventurers are never quiet while they travel, right?

Never...

They say Tikbalangs have several distinctions.

First, they are very tall (tsk... wish I were tall) and have skinny, imbalanced legs and arms. Looks almost like a human but their knees are higher than their upper body when they sit down.

Second, is the standard characteristics acknowledged by the association. They have heads and feet like a horse.

So with all these appearance traits, Tikbalang is sometimes called the creature from hell.

There are several fun rumors about Tikbalangs.

One of them is about Tikbalangs being the guardians of some kingdom that worships nature.

So the Tikbalangs will trick travelers who come with bad intentions to the kingdom by making them travel in circles.

Another rumor is that people around here say that 'if it rains on a clear day, then it must be Tikbalang's wedding day'.

The association speculates that sayings like 'it rains on Bathory's wedding day' or 'it rains on Moonlight Flower's wedding day' might have derived from the Tikbalang's saying.

Lastly, ancient fairy tales say that Tikbalangs can transform into human form or even make themselves transparen't but nobody has verified this yet.

Tikbalangs usually live in dark, busy places where there aren't many people around.

Hmm... For example, they are known to live beneath bridges, in banana and bamboo forests and beneath large trees.

And this is just my opinion but wouldn't you agree that they are living in dark places because it is easier to play pranks on people?

Ha ha ha. Do you now know how great I am?

Oh! Isn't this material to make 'Tikbalang Belt' used to tame Tikbalangs?

The 'Tikbalang Belt' is used to capture Tikbalangs without the hassle. But that doesn't mean it's 100% successful. Interested? Do you want me to make one for you?

Yiiiiiiiiiiii! Yap!

The 'Tikbalang Belt' is already created.

You? Ha... You can try if you want to.

There is the easy way and the hard way to capture Tikbalangs. Which one do you prefer?

Ha ha. I've come up with the easy way myself.

Bring me 3 Tikbalang's Thick Spines and 5 Lesser Agimats to make a 'Tikbalang Belt' to help you easily capture Tikbalangs.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

I will say it again.

It's 3 Tikbalang's Thick Spines and 5 Lesser Agimats. Understood?

It's easy for me but I don't know about you.

Tikbalangs have a sharp, pointy mane behind their neck.

Of course! There are several of them but you must get the three thickest ones.

These three manes are the weak point. You can tame a Tikbalang by pulling the manes out.

Now let me explain how to pull these manes out.

You must fly like a butterfly and land like a bee on the back of a Tikbalang.

Of course! The Tikbalang will get mad and try to shake you off with all its might.

All you have to do is hold on until the Tikbalang gets exhausted.

Then again, itll take 4 days and 3 nights for Tikbalangs to get tired since they are strong creatures. But let's not focus on too much details.

Which means!! The Tikbalang is already tamed.
