The provided source does not supply a traditional mythic origin story for Almas. Instead, it situates Almas within the contemporary category of 'cryptids' — beings reported in folklore or anecdote whose current existence is disputed by science. In that framing, Almas is treated as a putative wildman reported in stories and eyewitness claims that cryptozoologists collect and investigate. The source stresses that this modern cryptozoological framing relies heavily on anecdotal material and is criticized by scientists for lacking verifiable physical evidence.
The source does not include any consistent physical description of Almas. No measurements, features, or distinguishing traits are provided in the material supplied. Rather than supplying a canonical appearance, the source places Almas among the class of cryptids for which descriptions in popular or anecdotal accounts vary and are often inconsistent; the source emphasizes that claims about such beings are anecdotal and not corroborated with scientific evidence.
The provided source gives no accounts of specific abilities, behaviors, powers, or interactions with humans attributed to Almas. It does indicate, by situating Almas in cryptozoology, that reports about the entity are anecdotal and part of a subculture that seeks to treat folkloric reports as potential biological sightings. The source therefore does not substantiate any extraordinary abilities and notes that many scientists criticize cryptozoological claims for misidentification and lack of physical proof.

Allison Gross
A witch-figure from a Scottish/English ballad (Child 35) who courts a man with gifts and, when rebuffed, transforms him into a wyrm bound to a tree; in some versions the Seelie Queen later restores him. Presented in ballad tradition as a powerful but contestable supernatural suitor and punishor.
Allocamelus
An invented heraldic beast — a pictorial hybrid typically shown with an equine or donkey head and a camel's (usually single‑humped) body — used as a crest or armorial charge by English trading companies such as the Eastland Company.
Alloces
Alloces (also spelled Allocer, Alocer, Allogor, Algor) is a named ducal spirit in post-medieval Western grimoire tradition, listed among the spirits of the Goetia (the Lesser Key of Solomon) and attested in variant form in the Liber Officiorum Spirituum. He is presented as an evocable intelligence who teaches sciences, commands legions of spirits, and appears with differing visual descriptions across sources.
Allochrocebus
Allochrocebus is a zoological genus of Old World monkeys known as the terrestrial guenons, containing species such as L'Hoest's monkey, Preuss's monkey, and the sun-tailed monkey. The genus was split from Cercopithecus in recent taxonomic treatments and comprises ground-oriented guenon species native to Central and West African forests.
Alluttu
Alluttu is not attested in the provided source as a mythic or personal supernatural being; the name appears in the context of Babylonian star catalogues and therefore should be understood as an astronomical/catalogue designation rather than a described spirit or deity in the cited material.
Almaqah
Almaqah was the principal national deity of the ancient Sabaean kingdom (Saba') in southwestern Arabia, venerated as a celestial tutelary god with strong dynastic, oracular, and vegetative associations. His main cultic center was the Awwam Temple near Marib; his worship extended into the northern Horn of Africa (Dʿmt, Aksum). Scholarly treatments debate whether his primary identification is lunar, solar, or syncretic.
Almo
Almo is attested in the provided sources as a river-deity named for the ancient River Almone near Rome. The supplied material identifies Almo only by name and by association with that river; no detailed myths, rites, iconography, or powers are recorded in the provided documents.
Almáttki áss
Almáttki áss is an epithet-attested divine figure invoked in an Icelandic legal oath recorded in Landnámabók (Hauksbók 268). In the sole attestation the phrase functions as an invoked áss (god) described with the adjective almáttki ('almighty') and serves as the divine guarantor or witness for an oath sworn on a temple ring. Scholarly sources debate whether the epithet refers to a named Norse god (Thor, Ullr, Odin, or Týr) or is a Christianizing formulation by a later author.
Aloadae
The Aloadae (Otus and Ephialtes) are twin, exceptionally large brothers of Greek myth—variously portrayed as gigantic, hubristic challengers to the Olympian order and as local culture-bringing founders and worshipers of the Muses. Traditions report prodigious growth and strength, an attempt to scale the heavens by stacking mountains, the capture of Ares in some versions, and several differing accounts of their deaths or posthumous punishment.
Aloeus
Aloeus (Ancient Greek: Ἀλωεύς), sometimes rendered Haloeus, is a mytho-historical/genealogical figure in Greek tradition. Two distinct personages appear in sources: a Thessalian prince (son of Poseidon and Canace) connected to the Aloadae, and a son of Helios associated with sovereignty in Asopia (Sicyon). He functions as an eponymous ancestor and local founder-figure rather than as a supernatural actor.
Aloja
Aloja is listed in available sources as a named figure in Catalan legend; beyond a brief disambiguation listing, traditional folkloric details are absent in the consulted material. A contemporary commercial design note reinterprets Aloja as a Mediterranean/sea goddess with energetic yet tender character, but this is explicitly a modern creative description rather than documented folk belief.
Alope
Alope is a mortal woman from Greek myth who, after bearing a child by Poseidon and suffering familial punishment, is transformed by the god into a spring that bears her name. Her story functions etiologically to explain local toponyms (a spring and a town named Alope) and a memorial monument on the road from Eleusis to Megara.
