Thanks for this informtion. I had not heard of this entity before. We also see a dragon appearing on some Visayan hilts. Any relationship?

Hi Ian, I'm trying to dig up more literature on the olimaw/orimaw, but it's apparently an oral tradition known by Ilokano old-timers. The bakunawa has many depictions- a monster fish, a dragon, a monster worm. The olimaw/orimaw also swallows the moon and dictates the weather, similar to the bakunawa.
