Sources depict him as a historical, sanctified human leader — teacher, manuscript owner/copyist, and political actor — rather than a nonhuman spirit.
A family of regionally variable folkloric figures who accompany Saint Nicholas across territories formerly in the Holy Roman Empire and culturally influenced areas. Acting as a punitive or corrective foil to the gift-giving saint, these companions threaten, punish, or carry away disobedient children in seasonal performances and visits around Saint Nicholas Day (December 6). Individual regional forms range from cloak‑and‑staff servant types to goat- or devil-like figures.
A set of personified feminine figures—most commonly Buddhi (intellect), Siddhi (attainment/success), Riddhi (prosperity), and the Aṣṭa‑siddhi (eight supernatural attainments)—that appear in Hindu iconography and Purāṇic and tantric texts as attendant shaktis or emanations of the deity Ganesha. They function primarily as symbolic embodiments of faculties, powers, and attainments rather than as ordinary human spouses, and their presence and identity vary by regional, sectarian, and textual context.
Coriakin is a single fictional character from C. S. Lewis's Narnia cycle, portrayed as a former star consigned by Aslan to rule and instruct the Duffers (Dufflepuds) on an island. He appears as a penitent wizardly steward who uses magic to guide his charges toward wisdom.
A functional category of divine agents held responsible for the origin of the world, Earth, and universe within a given religious or mythological system.

Crom Cruach is a pre-Christian cult figure in medieval Irish sources, presented as a central idol venerated on Magh Slécht and described in Christian-era narratives as surrounded by twelve subsidiary figures and associated with propitiatory offerings for agricultural bounty; hagiographies recount Saint Patrick destroying the image and casting out a demon said to inhabit it.
Crom Dubh is a fluid mythological and folkloric figure from Irish tradition, variously represented as a remnant cultic god, a pagan chieftain or robber, a servant-figure, and the focal figure of seasonal first-fruits rites (Crom Dubh Sunday). In later narratives he is frequently framed as an antagonist subdued or reinterpreted by St. Patrick.
Cusco Quechua (Qusqu qhichwa simi / Qusqu runasimi) is a regional variety of Southern Quechua spoken in the city and Department of Cusco, Peru. It is part of the Southern Quechua grouping (including Puno and Bolivian varieties) and is the variety used and promoted by the Academia Mayor de la Lengua Quechua in Cusco; sources note debates over vowel analysis and orthography and list the variety as vulnerable in language-vitality metadata.
The name "Cyric" appears in disparate, unrelated contexts in the provided sources: as the name of a fictional deity listed in a Dungeons & Dragons deities compilation, as the Latinized personal name 'Cyricus' in a Christian martyr pair (Cyricus and Julitta), and as a modern digital creator/username credited on 3D model assets. The materials do not document a single, coherent folkloric or religious entity named Cyric.
In Dante Alighieri's Inferno (Canto XXXIV) Satan is the immobilized, diminished former angel who occupies the lowest point of Hell (the Ninth Circle, Judecca). He is the poetic embodiment of pride and the ultimate traitor, frozen in the central ice while eternally chewing the three chief traitors.

Other occurrences of the name in the materials are secular biographical usages for various modern individuals; no source treats David as a supernatural or folkloric being.
A death-associated divine or semi-divine being identified across cultures as personifying death, overseeing the dead, or governing the underworld. Treated variably as an autonomous sovereign in polytheistic systems and as a role carried out by agents (angels/demons) or subordinate functions under divine sovereignty in some monotheistic texts.

She functions as an intermediary who conveys divine command, renders judgment, and participates in liturgical celebration (the Song of Deborah).
A deity is a supernatural, non-human being or principle credited with authority or power over aspects of the universe, life, or human experience and often the object of reverence or worship. The term covers a wide range of beings from an ultimate transcendent creator to localized gods within pantheons and can also denote impersonal divine principles in some traditions.
A craftsman-like cosmic artisan who fashions and governs the sensible, material universe. In Platonic traditions the Demiurge is a benevolent ordering intelligence that shapes preexisting matter by imitating eternal Forms; in Gnostic systems the Demiurge is a lower ruler of the material realm whose moral status varies from ignorant/foolish to oppressive.

Modern popular culture reuses the name for monsters, but those visualizations are distinct from the medieval and Renaissance textual tradition.
A divinely commissioned heavenly agent in the Hebrew Bible and later Jewish traditions sent by God to execute judgment, death, or punishment. The figure functions as an instrument of divine justice (mal'āḵīm / memitim / mashḥit) and appears in narrative episodes of plague, wartime slaughter, and in rabbinic and Enochic writings connected to postmortem or eschatological punishment.
A cross-cultural mythic personification of evil and hostile forces, used in religious, literary, and popular contexts to explain temptation, moral corruption, disease, death, and misfortune. Its exact cosmological status varies by tradition, ranging from an independent principle of evil to a created being that became evil or a symbolic embodiment of human wickedness.
Dictys is a personal name applied to multiple distinct figures in Greek myth and pseudo‑historical tradition: a fisherman of Seriphos who rescues Danaë and Perseus, a sailor transformed into a dolphin by Dionysus, a centaur at Pirithous's wedding who dies in the Lapiths' battle, and the literary persona Dictys Cretensis who purports to be an eyewitness of the Trojan War.
In Christian angelology, Dominions (also Dominations or Lordships; Greek kyriotētes) are an order of created heavenly beings listed among categories such as thrones, principalities, and powers. Major theological sources (Colossians 1:16 as cited, Pseudo‑Dionysius the Areopagite, and the Second Book of Enoch) treat them as a ranked class within a hierarchical cosmos rather than as individual personalities encountered in folklore.
Donbettyr (Iron Ossetic: Донбеттыр) is the Ossetian water divinity described as the god of all waters and the protector of fish and fishermen. He appears in the Nart saga as an aquatic lord whose daughters — sea-nymph–like figures — are ancestral mothers of major Nart heroes (including Uryzmaeg, Satanaya, Xaemyts, and Batraz). He is often compared in the sources to the Scythian namesake and to the Greek sea-god Poseidon.

A folkloric figure originating in German-speaking communities, depicted as an anthropomorphic hare or rabbit that brings or hides decorated eggs and treats for children at Easter.

A Swedish and Finnish folkloric figure of an old-woman witch associated with Holy Week who, in traditional belief, flies on brooms to a diabolic gathering at Blåkulla/Blockula on Maundy Thursday and returns at Easter; in modern practice the image has become a benign costume tradition in which children dress as witches to go door-to-door for greetings and treats.

Father Christmas is the traditional English personification of the Christmas festival — a cultural and performative embodiment of midwinter feasting, merrymaking and later, following nineteenth-century cultural exchange, a domestic gift-bringer. He functions as a symbolic figure in pageantry, pamphleteering and popular imagery rather than as an independently ontological supernatural being.
