EN: Sulfur
That yellow, stinky stuff they warned you about in chemistry class. It's the 'amoy-bulok-na-itlog' element found near volcanoes. In old Filipino horror, it's basically the official scent of hell and demons. So if you smell it, it's either a science experiment or a demon is nearby. Good luck.
From Spanish 'azufre'.
Usually spelled with a capital 'A' when referring to the element, but can be lowercase. Often associated with volcanoes and the underworld in a folkloric context.
