Alan

No origin story is recorded in the available source material. The single cited summary identifies the Alan simply as a class of deformed spirits within Tinguian folklore but does not provide information on their creation, parentage, cosmological role, or relationship to ancestors, land, or other spirit-types.

The recorded description of the Alan is concise: they are deformed spirits that possess wings and can fly, and their fingers and toes are reported as pointing backwards. The source does not provide further details about their size, coloration, facial features, clothing, or other bodily attributes; those aspects remain undocumented in the cited material.

The only explicit ability attributed to the Alan in the available source is flight, enabled by their wings. Beyond morphology and the capacity to fly, the source does not describe additional behaviors, powers, harmfulness, speech, possession, feeding, trickery, or other activities; no such claims are made in the cited summary.
