Minepa

Minepa is a name attested both as a Tanzanian place-name and, in a small number of modern compilations and database entries, as a spirit label associated with the Makua (Makuwa).

A modern Indian urban‑legend and mass‑panic phenomenon centered on reports of a monkey‑like attacker roaming New Delhi in mid‑2001.

A modern American folkloric figure originating from a cluster of 1966–67 sightings around Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Described in press reports and later retellings as a large humanoid or winged creature with notable eyes, the Mothman legend has been variously interpreted as misidentified wildlife, hoaxing/sensationalism, or a paranormal omen linked in some retellings to the Silver Bridge collapse.

Myrmidon (hero)
Lesser

Nozuchi
Lesser

Nozuchi

Nozuchi is a polyvalent name in Japanese tradition that appears both as an alternate name sometimes listed for a vegetation/field kami and as a snake- or lizard-like yokai/cryptid in folkloric and popular-media sources. Classical Shinto-oriented material presents Nozuchi among appellations of a protector of fields and ancestor of herbs; folkloric and cryptid accounts treat Nozuchi as a thick-bodied, hammer- or snake-like creature encountered in rural or wild areas.

Lesser

Orang Pendek

Orion

Orion is presented in the supplied sources primarily as a name and cultural referent — most centrally the figure 'Orion (mythology), a hunter in Greek mythology' and the constellation named after him — rather than as a single, fully documented folkloric supernatural entity within the supplied materials.

Pallas
Lesser

Pallas

Pallas is a name applied to multiple distinct figures in Greek myth (several mortal, semi-divine, and Titan personages) and functions as an epithet of the goddess Athena; in later usage the name is also applied to non-mythic objects such as the asteroid 2 Pallas and a genus name in biology. The sources do not treat Pallas as a single unified supernatural species but as a polyvalent label across genealogies and later nomenclature.

Pallas's cat (manul)
Minor Spirit

Pallas's cat (manul)

Pallas's cat (Otocolobus manul), commonly called manul in Mongolian, is a small wild felid of Central Asian montane and steppe ecosystems.

A poltergeist is a German-derived ghostlore label for an unseen agent associated chiefly with noisy, kinetic, and disruptive physical phenomena in domestic settings.

Qlippoth (Hebrew קְלִיפּוֹת, qəlippōṯ, singular qəlippā) are the "husks" or "shells" in Jewish mystical literature that constitute the impure, obscuring counterpart to the sefirot.

Minor Spirit
