If your story beast had a form, what would it be?

The beast who always appears in my stories is the Filipino sea serpent, it's called the Bakunawa or Laho. It is a vast horned sea dragon, with scales like kalasak shields, curved razor teeth like batangas swords, trailing fins lined in copper fire. The Laho stirs storms, causes earthquakes, and ever hungers to swallow the moon.

If you could meet one story character, who would it be and why?

I would love to meet Lunurin, I think we'd have a lot to talk about.
