In the mythic genealogies recorded for Buryat tradition, Zasa Mergen Baatar is presented as Han Hormasta's eldest son and a member of the sky/heaven household. He wins Sesegen Nogoon, daughter of Segeen Sebdeg, as his bride by successfully wrestling the three sons of Atai Ulaan—Sagaan Hasar Buhe, Shara Hasar Buhe, and Hara Hasar Buhe—and thereby (according to the account) transforming them into the three Sharaidai khan-s.
The sources explicitly describe Zasa Mergen Baatar as 'the tornado-god riding a brown hawk-horse.' No further consistent anthropomorphic or bodily details are provided in the cited summaries.
Sources identify him as the 'tornado-god,' linking him to tornados/whirlwinds. In narrative material cited, he engages in wrestling with the three sons of Atai Ulaan and by that contest obtains his bride; the account states that the wrestling episode resulted in the transformation of those opponents into the three Sharaidai khan-s. Comparative commentary in the Atai Ulaan material places him alongside other mythic wrestlers.
Abaasy
Abaasy (Abaahy, Abasy; Yakut: Абаасы, Abaası) are beings of the Sakha (Yakut) underworld, depicted in sources as destructive underworld spirits or demons associated with the long deceased. They inhabit the lower cosmic layer, serve an underworld ruler, are blamed for disease and madness, and may be appeased by blood sacrifice.
Aiy (Aiy-auk)
Aiy (also rendered Aiy-auk) is a name mentioned in relation to Siberian contexts in the queryer's sources, but the provided documents do not contain usable folkloric descriptions or ethnographic data about the entity. This entry records what the supplied materials do and do not establish and points to the research gap.
Ak Ana
Ak Ana (also Ağ Ana, Ak Ene) is the primordial water-mother of Turkic and some Siberian (Khanty, Mansi) traditions: a holy maternal creator principle associated with the pre-earth expanse of water, fertility of the land, and the threshold to the spirit world.
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.
Ama (Mother of Waters)
No documentation for a Siberian supernatural figure called 'Ama' or 'Mother of Waters' was found in the supplied sources. The reviewed materials either list unrelated senses of the string 'Ama' or are unrelated recordings titled 'AMA.'
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.
Buga
Buga (BUGA) is identified in the consulted sources as an Evenki (Evenk) sky or heaven god, rendered in brief tertiary references as the Evenki 'god of the heaven' and labelled by one popular summary as the 'Evenki Supreme God.' Available documentation in the provided set is fragmentary and supplies no detailed myths, rituals, or iconography for Buga.
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.
Burkut
Burkut (also Bürküt, Merküt) is a sacred eagle figure in Turkic mythic cosmology associated with the sun, rulership, and protective authority. Treated as an emblematic or quasi-divine bird rather than a mundane animal, it appears in shamanic rites, world-tree iconography, folk performance, and modern heraldic motifs.
Burut
Burut (also attested as a clan name Burutia in some modern mentions) is documented in the supplied sources not as a supernatural being but as a social/lineage name attested in Central Asian ethnographic records (Kirghiz / Khakassian contexts). The provided corpus contains no evidence identifying Burut or 'Burutia' as an Assamese folk spirit, nor does it record myths, powers, or rituals for such an entity.
Chud
The Chud (Russian: Чудь) are an ancient, mythic people in Russian and several Finno‑Ugric oral traditions. Presented as a pre‑modern population, they appear in legends as a displaced, assimilated, or subterranean society whose disappearance and former condition help explain features of landscape and cosmology in regional folklore.
Dayak Bahau
Dayak Bahau (Bahau, Kayan Mekam) is an ethnic / sub-ethnic group of the Apo Kayan (Apokayan) family in Borneo, documented in sources as inhabitants of parts of East Kalimantan (notably West Kutai Regency) with living ritual traditions such as Hudoq and locally specific practices like Apang Aruq. The supplied materials do not describe a supernatural being named 'Dayak Bahau.'
