What if the creatures from Philippine folklore - the tikbalangs, nuno, kapre - were inspired by sightings of actual alien races? That's the question that fuels the Mythspace stories.In "Devourers of Light", we learn why the Kapres and the Laho (the reptilian race that inspired the Bakunawa legends) loathe each other. The Laho lead an inter-species alliance to punish the Kapre for violating a galaxy-wide taboo... but when Supreme Apex Barkarilkarilmon loses his patience with the other races, the Laho take independent action - with disastrous consequences for the Kapre race.
