Sarangay is a creature resembling a bull with a huge muscular body and a jewel attached to its ears.[citation needed] It is the Philippine counterpart for the Greek minotaur. They are illustrated to be half bull and half man.
According to old folklore, Sarangays have a jewel or a precious gemstone in their ears that they are protecting. Those who try to steal it from them will be killed mercilessly. It was also said that when a Sarangay gets angry, its nose emits smoke.[1]
