## Yes, if it's the Grinch A unique creature, which is _the_ Manananggal (effectively THAT creature's name), should be capitalized. ## No, if it's a fairy Even if your creature is rare, if you are likely to ever refer to it as _a_ manananggal (a member of a group or species), then don't capitalize it.
