Region
Philippines
Dalaketnon (not to be confused with Dalaguetenon, the Cebuano term for natives from the city of Dalaguete), are the evil engkanto.
The Dalaketnons are a race of elf-like creatures in Philippine mythology. In Visayan culture, they were believed to be handsome and beautiful beings resembling nobles and monarchs of Pre-Hispanic Philippines. They reside in Dalakit trees (also known as Balete or Dakit), hence the name Dalakitnon, meaning "from the Dalakit or Dakit tree." This mythological race exhibits sexual dimorphism, with men having light-colored skin and very dark hair, while women have bronze-brown skin and brown hair. Stories describe them with leaf-shaped, pointy ears.
