They are winged ghoul-like creatures from Filipino mythology, that consume the entrails of corpses and living victims. Typically, they can project their spirits to seek out potential prey. The Creeper was rejected by his fellow berbalangs because his astral-projection power doesn't work properly: instead of himself, he unconsciously projects images of the people he's killed, which is where all the ghost-sightings in the films come from.
