Please change Hunt monster: Aswang

[Naraku_Diabolos]

As the title says, the lore team made a big WTF when they made the Pterodactyl monster called an Aswang. The Aswang is NOTHING like a dinosaur. It is more like a Succubus in real life in Filipino mythology. It's supposed to attack pregnant women and suck out the unborn fetus through the belly button during the dead of night. No way an Aswang is a dinosaur in real life. And no, I have not seen an Aswang as I live in the US and not the Philippines, but I study cryptid creatures.

I was coming in expecting a rant about the name. Learned something new.

On a side note what the hell is wrong with people and their mythological creations?

I wish SE would think about these things before they add the monsters. How can it be a Pterodactyl? LOL.. It's not even close. Step it up SE.

At night, they transform into creatures such as a bat, bird (usually a crow), wild boar, black cat, or most often, a big black dog. <...> They love to eat unborn fetuses and small children, favoring livers and hearts. Some have long proboscises....

I can maybe see what they were maybe going for. It does have big leathery wings and a massive snout.

That actually makes sense, Moose, now that you mention that. So a combination of those things would equal a Pterodactyl in an appearance.

Factor in a few more maybes and you never know!

I can't always tell when I've found logic or just conjured up something that looks passably like it.

It's probably not even the most absurd naming choice this franchise has used.

It is pronounced "Az-wong," yet people may think it sounds like @$$-wang.

Bahamut was originally a space whale believed to carry the world on its back, so it's not as though taking creative liberties with the characters/monsters they name after mythological beings after is new.

This is a common theme in FF games. XI was especially guilty of taking mythological creature names and affixing them to whatever species loosely fit it. So it's no surprise that XIV does the same thing.
