The Siyokoy (Syokoy) are creatures in Philippine mythology which were members of Bantay Tubig (merfolk). They are usually illustrated as green-skinned humanoids with scales, webbed limbs, and fins.
Compared to Sirena, Sireno, and Kataw who have human features, Siyokoys are of animalic in physical form and structure.[1] Some people describe Siyokoy as...
...horrifying sea creatures with fish-like bodies and long green tentacles. They drown mortals and eat them. They have gill slits, are colored brown or green, and have scaly skin, comparable to that of fishes.[citation needed]
Intimidating aquatic animals such as eels, octopus, rays and squids usually swim along with Siyokoy.[1]
