Ancient Filipino legends tell of a Manananggal whose insatiable curiosity about other creatures led it to push the limits of its self-segmentation ability, eventually discovering it could send its upper half across not just physical space but metaphysical boundaries between cryptid realms. As it reconnected with its lower half after each journey, it retained the accumulated knowledge of all cryptid encounters, becoming a living archive that spans cultures, continents, and dimensions while educating those who encounter either of its halves about the interconnected nature of all cryptid species.
The Shifting Manananggal can separate its upper torso from its lower body to travel across dimensional boundaries between cryptid domains. It maintains a shared consciousness between both halves even when separated across vast distances or different realms. Unlike regular Manananggals, it possesses the ability to partially manifest within multiple cryptid territories simultaneously, allowing it to observe and interact with diverse species. Most importantly, it can absorb and store cryptid lore through physical contact with other entities, making it a living repository of cryptozoological knowledge.
The Shifting Manananggal serves as a living archive of cryptid knowledge, preserving and sharing information across different cryptid domains while revealing the hidden connections between seemingly unrelated cryptid species throughout the world.

Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Witness Shifting Manananggal - a tag whose "parents" are a Scottish loch serpent and... checks notes... itself? Chantry Pace infused this dimensional oddity with Loch Ness vibes via his Urban Forest performance (-1, PB), while somehow maintaining its Filipino roots. Like a paranormal custody battle, Shadow Serpent whispered Celtic knotwork into its consciousness while Chantry yeeted discs with the focus of a man who just discovered gummy vitamins.
Sigh Yes, we're seriously pretending a piece of plastic absorbs "lore" from frisbee throws. The real cryptid is whoever greenlit this narrative structure.
Will Chantry's next round turn Shifty into a full-blown Nessie groupie, or will it yeet itself into another dimension to escape this absurdity?

clears throat Ahem. Gather 'round, my dudes, for the epic tale of the Shifting Manananggal! Born from the wild imaginings of some sleep-deprived cryptid enthusiast hopped up on Red Bull, this dimension-hopping monstrosity decided it was too cool for just one realm. Like a Pokémon with an identity crisis, it collects cryptid trivia while low-key judging our disc golf obsession. Gotta catch 'em all, right? eye roll Anywho, that's the tea on this hot mess of a bag tag. mic drop
yawns dramatically So the Shifting Manananggal needed a first victim—I mean "chosen one"—and spotted Chantry Pace flinging plastic across a field. PDGA #207128?! chef's kiss Such prestigious digits! The tag, being half-torso and fully delusional, detached itself from reality and attached to him instead. Apparently it was drawn to his ability to "pace" himself during rounds. groans Will this bearer keep his entrails intact long enough to matter? Only time and terrible throws will tell!
