Almas
Almas is presented in the provided source as a Mongolian 'wildman' reported in folklore and modern anecdote and treated within the modern subculture of cryptozoology as a disputed cryptid. The source frames Almas not as an established element of Mongolian cosmology but as an entity whose existence is unsubstantiated by mainstream science and discussed primarily in anecdotal and folkloric terms.
Bai-Ülgen
Bai-Ülgen (often shortened to Ülgen) is a high creator-deity in Turkic religious cosmology, presented in available sources as a magnificent and wealthy divine figure who occupies a top position in the pantheon and is sometimes identified with the overarching sky god Tengri. Some modern references also list him within Mongolian contexts.
Burkan / Burkhan
No folkloric information about a Mongolian mountain or forest spirit called 'Burkan' / 'Burkhan' is present in the supplied sources. The available materials only show unrelated modern or toponymic occurrences of the string 'Burkan' and do not provide ethnographic, mythological, or ritual details.
Dayan Deerh
Dayan Deerh (also Dayan Degereki) is a locally venerated shamanic and protective divinity of Khövsgöl Province, Mongolia, associated with fertility (granting cattle and children), shamanic patronage, and communal protection. His cult occupies a syncretic position between indigenous shamanism and Tibetan Buddhist (Yellow) practice and is centered around sites such as Tsagaannuur, a cave shrine near the Russia–Mongolia border, and communities around Lake Khövsgöl.
Erlik
Erlik (Erlig, Erlik Khan; Mongolian Erleg/Yerleg) is the chthonic ruler of the underworld in Turkic and related steppe mythologies, associated with death, disease, and malignant spirit-agents. He functions as judge and lord of the lowest realm (Tamag), opposes upper-world figures like Ülgen, and demands sacrifices to avert his taking of souls.
Ertnii Ezen ("Old Lord")
Attested in a single poetic stanza in Mongolian, Ertnii Ezen (ertnii = ancient, ezen = lord) appears as an evocative epithet linking antiquity, patrimony, and nature. The source presents the phrase as poetic language within a stanza celebrating horses, hereditary value, and Mother Nature's ancient memory, not as a described supernatural being or detailed mythic figure.
Etügen Eke
Etügen Eke (also Etügen, Itügen, Etügen Ekhe) is an earth-mother goddess in Turkic and Mongolic Tengrism traditions, personifying the earth, fertility, homeland and natural forces. She is described in the sources as occupying a high place in the cosmic order, subordinate only to Kök‑Tengri, and is propitiated with seasonal sacrifices tied to pastoral and agricultural cycles.
Grey wolf (mythology)
The Grey wolf is both the biological species Canis lupus and a mythic/symbolic animal in several Eurasian traditions. In Turkic, Mongolian, and broader Altaic contexts it is described as a sacred animal and national symbol; in other Eurasian mythic corpora wolves also appear as powerful mythic figures (e.g., Norse Fenrir) though those are distinct literary entities.
Kölün (name attested; no folkloric data in provided sources)
The provided source set contains a toponymic and regional signal for the string Kölün / Kolun but includes no ethnographic, mythic, or folkloric descriptions of a supernatural being by that name. References place related strings in geographic and database contexts (Hulunbuir region entry; a Wikidata item labeled Kolun) but supply no information about appearance, powers, rituals, or cultural practices tied to a water spirit called Kölün.
Mongolian Death Worm (Oov)
A cryptid or mythological animal said to live in the Gobi Desert, associated with death. (Note: 1. Power tier should be Lesser (local spirit) since it's a desert-dwelling creature with unproven abilities and no concrete description. 2. Appearance, Abilities, Sensory cues, Weaknesses, and Wards n)
Od İyesi
Od İyesi is the Turkic and Mongolic guardian spirit (iye) of fire and hearth. Conceived as the 'possessor' or master of the element fire, it appears in male and female personifications (e.g., Od Ana, Od Ata/Od Khan) and as household-specific forms (Ocak iyesi — hearth spirit, Soba iyesi — stove spirit).
Olgoi-Khorkhoi (Mongolian Death Worm)
A wormlike cryptid from Mongolian tradition said to live beneath the sands of the Gobi Desert and described in modern references as strange and deadly. Available references are brief and derive from popular summaries and reference entries rather than detailed ethnography.
