Buso: ?
Tigbanua Buso: ?
Tagamaling Buso: This type of buso is a person infected by a tigbanua. This disease periodically transforms the person into a tagamaling. Each night there is a 1% cumulative chance that the diseased person transforms, his body changing into that of a buso. The victim becomes savage and mindless, attacking (and devouring) any and all he can. The tagamaling has the same hit dice and hit points as the person possesses in normal lite. Characters With special abilities are not able to use their powers while transformed, their minds filled only with rage and animal lusts. The diseased person has no memory of any actions done as a tagamaling. Once the disease reaches 100%, the victim can no longer be cured and changes into a tagamaling every night.
The claws of a tigbanua transmit a horrible disease and all wounded by the creature must make a successful saving throw vs. death or become infected. Those infected eventually become tagamaling.
Con-Tinh: The con-tinh is an evil spirit creature. Legend and folklore maintain they are spirits of maidens who died before their time.
Gaki, Nin-Chu-Ju-Gaki: The gaki (or more properly the nin-chu-ju-gaki) are the spirits of the wicked, returned to the Prime Material Plane in the form of horrid monsters as punishment for their sins. The nature of the crimes committed in his life determines the type of gaki the spirit returns as.

Kuei: A kuei is a spirit of the dead, now in the form of a demon-ghost. This may occur if a person dies unburied, with his life unfulfilled. or by violence unavenged.
When encountered, a kuei normally attempts to possess a victim. If this is successful. the form of the kuei disappears and takes control of the victim. Once the possession is successful, the kuei uses the physical body to complete whatever task still binds it to the Prime Material Plane. This may be to seek vengeance on its killer, fulfill an oath, or arrange for the ceremonies in the temple necessary to release it. When fulfilling an oath, the kuei may remain in possession of the victim for a long time. Indeed, one story is told of a kuei possessing her sister to fulfill an oath of marriage, remaining with her promised husband for many years before being discovered.
