In some traditions the creator is identical with the single God; in others a secondary creative agent is distinguished from a more transcendent ultimate being.
Cressida is a literary character from medieval and Renaissance retellings of the Trojan War, appearing in works from the Roman de Troie tradition through Boccaccio, Chaucer, and Shakespeare. She is portrayed as Troilus's lover who is exchanged to the Greeks and later becomes associated with an affair with Diomedes; later authors vary in their moral judgments of her.
A singular extraordinary bull from Greek myth tied to King Minos of Crete; sent by Poseidon as a divine sign and later implicated in the birth of the Minotaur and in destructive rampages that heroes such as Heracles and Theseus are said to have ended by capture and/or sacrifice.

'princess') is a personal name borne by multiple female figures in Greek myth and local genealogies, including a naiad, princesses of Athens and Corinth, an Amazon depicted on a Cumaean vase, and Trojan-period wives and mothers. The name functions as an individual proper name across varied narratives rather than denoting a single mythic class.
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.
A folkloric character-type of an older woman whose age and gender define her social and symbolic role. The crone appears ambivalently across traditions as a malicious hag, a stern tester or guardian, or a venerated wise woman and keeper of remedies and lore.
Cruel Coppinger is a semi-legendary Cornish figure—remembered as a foreign, fearsome smuggler/wrecker whose biographical fragments were elaborated into a dramatic folk narrative. Collected in 19th-century sources (notably Rev. R. S. Hawker's account published in All the Year Round) the tale blends probable historical persons (members of the Coppinger family) with folklore motifs of seizure, wrecking, illicit wealth, and a mysterious maritime disappearance.
The Curetes (Greek Κουρῆτες, Kouretes) are a named group of ritual attendants or minor divine retainers associated with Aegean and Anatolian mother-goddess cults—primarily Rhea and Cybele. They are attested in ancient sources and modern reference works as dancing servants or ritual personnel whose name also survives in urban toponymy (e.g., Kouretes/Curetes Street at Ephesos).
Cyanippus (Greek: Κυάνιππος) is a personal name attested for at least three distinct mortal men in Greek mythic traditions: an Argive/Achaean warrior-king connected to the Trojan Horse cycle, a Thessalian hunter whose dogs kill his wife, and a Syracusan who omitted worship of Dionysus and whose divinely induced crime leads to oracle-driven expiation. He is presented as human rather than as a supernatural being.

Dagon (also Dagan) is an ancient Near Eastern deity attested across inland Syria and the middle Euphrates, with principal temples at Tuttul and Terqa. In inland contexts he functions as a senior, paternal god — a source of prosperity and royal legitimacy — and was syncretized with Mesopotamian and Hurrian senior gods in later theological lists. Later Biblical and medieval receptions reinterpreted the name (including an incorrect fish-association) and the theonym has been reused in modern literature and media.
No reliable information about an Assamese supernatural entity called Dai (also cited as Daini or 'Dai witch') is present in the provided sources. The available materials include general disambiguation and unrelated archive items that do not describe such a folk entity, so details about its nature, attributes, or cultural role cannot be documented from these sources.
Daikokuten (大黒天) is a syncretic Japanese deity of fortune, wealth, and household/professional prosperity. Originating from the Buddhist/Hindu figure Mahākāla and transformed within Chinese and Japanese religious contexts, Daikokuten functions as a protector of monastic kitchens and, in Japan, as a beneficent patron of farmers, cooks and occupations tied to money.
Daji (妲己, Dájǐ) is a figure in Chinese narrative and popular religious-cultural materials who blurs human and spirit categories: historically remembered as the favorite consort of King Di Xin of Shang but in later legend and fiction identified as a fox‑spirit (often a nine‑tailed or thousand‑year fox) that possessed or impersonated the woman and precipitated moral and political decline.
Damarwulan is a Javanese legendary human hero central to a cycle of courtly-epic narratives and stage traditions (wayang klitik, Langendriyan, ketoprak). The figure—whose name is glossed as "radiance of the moon"—is portrayed as a princely warrior who defeats the Blambangan king Menak Jingga, suffers apparent death and is restored by a hermit, and is ultimately crowned in the Majapahit court. The story is especially associated with East Java and the Serat Damar Wulan manuscript tradition.
Danu is a reconstructed Irish mother goddess name associated with the Tuatha Dé Danann — the name Tuatha Dé Danann is glossed as 'the peoples of the goddess Danu'. The name is also linked in comparative material to a pan‑Indo‑European river/goddess motif and to cognate deities in other traditions, though primary medieval Irish texts do not preserve a detailed mythology or iconography for her.
Danuvius is a Latin toponym that appears in two distinct referents in the supplied sources: (1) a Latin name for the Danube and an ancient Roman river-deitypersonification; and (2) a modern paleontological genus name, Danuvius guggenmosi, applied to an ~11.6-million-year-old fossil ape discovered in southern Germany. The sources treat these as separate uses of the same Latin/place-rooted name rather than a single folkloric being.
Dara II (also Darab II) is a mytho-historical king in Iran's national tradition, presented as the last monarch of the Kayanian dynasty and generally identified with the historical Darius III. He functions in literary and political traditions as a terminal dynastic figure whose person is used to legitimate later houses and to explain foundation traditions for cities such as Dara and Darabgerd.

A more accurate classification would be Ancient (deity-level), as it)
A category of divine beings associated with death, the dead, or the world/realm of the dead. As a class, such figures occupy central roles in many mythologies and religions, functioning as rulers of the underworld, psychopomps, guardians against chaos, or antagonists in dualistic systems.
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.
