Originating from Laguna mythology, the Nuno is a small, magical creature that lives alone in a punso or a dirt mound.

​

The Nuno is a powerful creature. It can be either friendly or atrocious to anyone it meets. When threatened or angered, it curses the person with illnesses; the face and hands get swollen, and the urine turns to black. This is why dirt mounds are never destroyed. However, it can also give luck and blessings to a person when it chooses to.
