The series was produced by Dreamscape TV.The series follows the story of Juan dela Cruz (Coco Martin), an orphan child who was raised in a church in a town by Catholic parish priest. After the priest was killed by a thief, Juan was taken care of by the priest's sister in the city. Unknown to Juan he was a half-aswang, the son of the Haring Aswang and the prophesized Anak ng Dilim who is fated to lead the aswangs to dominate over the humans. However his mother is a Tagbantay (lit. "Guardian") and a human. The Tagabantay is tasked to defend the humans from the dreaded aswangs and as the son of the Tagabantay, Juan is set to take over his mother's role when he grows up.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })When Juan grows to be a young adult, Juan joins the Kapatiran (lit.

I Just Want to Have Friends | |
| Juan dela Cruz / int_26764512 | comment |
I Just Want to Have Friends: Juan, during his childhood, he was ostracized by the townsfolk of San Juan Bautista, save for his adopted priest father. He was shunned due to his short temper and for his superhuman abilities due to his aswang heritage, even though he uses it save others or himself. Despite this, Juan remained a cheerful mischievous yet good-intentioned child due to his upbringings, but beneath his cheerful facade lies an insecure Juan who doesn't have any friends or real parents. | |

Artifact of Doom | |
| Juan dela Cruz / int_3b5fcbb7 | comment |
Artifact of Doom: The Anito ng Saragnayan, a stone resembling a face adorned with purple crystals. It serves as a medium for the aswang goddess Saragnayan to communicate with the aswangs, particularly the Haring Aswang and the babaylan. It is said that in order for the Anak ng Dilim to fulfill his destiny he must touch the anito. Actually the anito is a Summoning Artifact that would release the rogue diwata Peru-ha (Saragnayan) from her imprisonment. She was later released even though the anito was locked away in a briefcase. Juan touched the location where Peru-ha was trapped in a cave, unknowingly releasing her. | |

Crazy Jealous Guy: Kael, was extremely possesive with Rosario. After Kael was dumped by Rosario, who laters enter a relationship with Juan, he grows extremely jealous. This led him Ax-Crazy going as far to try to kill Juan so that Juan can't be with Rosario. This doesn't end there though, after his father found out that Juan was the real Anak ng Dilim he felt that his father is playing favorites which added to his motivation to kill Juan. He felt that Juan robbed him of his girl (Rosario), destiny (being the Anak ng Dilim), and his father's approval. | |

Swiss Army Weapon: The Bakal na Krus at its known peak can transform into various weapons including a sword, bow, whip and staff. It can also transform into a shield, a form which was first used by Juan in known history. The cross weapon can also unleash a white light that would kill all aswangs and other hostile supernatural creatures within its vicinity. The white light was only used by Datu Bangaraw and Juan. At the end of the series, peru-ha gives the Anak ng Dilim one of his own to fight Juan with. | |

Unwitting Pawn: Numerous: Juan dela Cruz unknowingly freed Peru-ha after touching the Anito ng Saragnayan where Peru-ha is imprisoned, when he thought doing so would end everything and would turn all aswangs back to normal. Belen instructed Juan to do so due to her prophetic dream. Belen's prophetic dream is erroneous and has been manipulated by Agor. Samuel Alejandro, he was originally task by Saraganayan, say Peru-ha, to convince Juan to touch the Anito ng Saragnayan. He tries to subvert the trope upon knowing Saragnayan's true identity. Unfortunately he gets killed in the end. | |

Secret-Keeper | |
| Juan dela Cruz / int_9f970427 | comment |
Secret Keeper: Samuel Alejandro, he secretly had a relationship with Amelia, a human which is taboo in aswang society. It doesn't help that Amelia was also a Tagabantay. Amelia had a son with Samuel, giving birth to Juan in a church before dying. Samuel wasn't aware that Juan was his son so he thought that Kael was the Anak ng Dilim. After he learned the truth he decided to keep Juan's identity as the Anak ng Dilim a secret from his fellow aswangs to protect his reputation and legitimacy as the Haring Aswang until he can convince Juan to join his side and embrace his fate as the Anak ng Dilim. He goes far in protecting his son, from kidnapping him and locking him inside a warehouse to protect him from assasins hired by his other son Kael to killing other aswangs just to keep his secret a secret. | |

The Usurper: Peru-ha, tried to take over the throne of the Engkanto Kingdom from his brother, Mana-on. She believed that the throne was rightfully hers, which was denied to her by his father, Kanla-on, in favor of her brother. She felt she was not loved by her father. The true reason she was not chosen to be succeed her father is because she was not a pure diwata. She failed though and was locked in a cave somewhere in the human world. Kael, too tried to usurp his father's role as the Haring Aswang with the help of his mother and a bunch of other aswangs and succeeded but was later dethroned by his father. Peru-ha finally usurped the Engkanto throne, kinda, when she possessed Reyna Nerea. Her plan was later foiled by Juan. She later set a kingdom of her own composing different creatures, the kapre, nuno, tiyanak and the aswang. | |

Color Motif | |
| Juan dela Cruz / int_b869b5b1 | comment |
Color Motif: While earlier in the series, Juan only wears a red camiso de chino while in his Tagabantay persona, he later wears different colors to symbolize certain things according to Noel Flores, the visual designer of the series. Or as the unleashed Anak ng Dilim, he wears black clothing because Evil Wears Black. The aswang's color motif is purple, representing deception. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Juan dela Cruz / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: early in the series when Juan was using the Bakal na Cruz in fighting crime, he complains about the mask his sidekick gives him, saying that it makes him "look like a ninja turtle". | |

The Mole | |
| Juan dela Cruz / int_e70127 | comment |
The Mole: Agor, the equally manipulative yet most trustworthy right-hand man of Peru-ha. He went far to gain the trust of Juan and his friends to forward his master's goals. | |

Talking to Themself | |
| Juan dela Cruz / int_fb8b5014 | comment |
Peru-ha temporarily shared bodies with Agor. Agor can talk to Peru-ha and vice versa during their merger and both can take their turns in controlling their one body. | |
