Baiame

He is credited with shaping landscape, instituting law and ceremony (notably the first bora initiation), and returning to the sky while remaining present in sacred sites and rock art.
Baian
A semi-divine water spirit or mermaid-like creature in Basque mythology, associated with fertility and aquatic phenomena. (Note: Power tier should be "Lesser" or possibly "Primordial", as the entity is described as semi-divine and associated with fertility and aquatic phenomena. Summary needs more detail, e.g., "Semi-divine wat)
Bajrang Bali
Bajrang Bali is a popular epithet of the Hindu deity Hanuman, a divine vanara revered for strength, devotion to Rama, and long life. Originating in epic literature and later elevated in medieval and modern devotional practice, the figure appears across scripture, performance, and contemporary media.

A malevolent rakshasa from Hindu mythology with supernatural strength and ferocity. (Note: - Power tier: Primordial (due to its cosmic and epic-scale impact in Hindu mythology) - Abilities: Remove "at will" as it's not present in the source material - Weaknesses: Not specified in the source)
Bake-danuki
Bake-danuki (化け狸) are a class of yōkai in Japanese folklore: tanuki (Japanese raccoon dogs) that acquire supernatural powers, most notably shapeshifting and trickery. They appear throughout Japan with strong regional concentrations and some locally named, ritualized exemplars.
Bake-kujira
A skeletal whale yōkai from coastal western Japan, especially Shimane (Izumo) and the Oki region. Appearing offshore as a large white figure that is revealed to be a baleen whale's bare skeleton and attended by strange fish and birds, the bake-kujira is interpreted in sources as a vengeful or resentful whale-spirit that portends misfortune and prompted local placation practices.
Bakeichōnosei
No verifiable information about 'Bakeichōnosei' is present in the supplied source. The only available material is a biographical note on Shigeru Mizuki; there is no description, classification, or rituals associated with Bakeichōnosei in that source.
Bakeneko
The bakeneko (ばけ猫, "changed cat") is a Japanese yōkai classed as a kaibyō (supernatural cat). Folklore presents it as a household cat that, through age, long residence, or other local conditions, acquires uncanny abilities such as shapeshifting, speech, and vengeance against cruel humans.
Bakeneko yūjo
A stock Edo‑period popular‑culture character: a courtesan (yūjo) who secretly transforms into a bakeneko (a shapeshifting cat). Emerging from rumors around Shinagawa and theatrical/print entertainment, the bakeneko yūjo functions as an uncanny motif linking cats, brothels, and urban anxieties rather than as a codified religious being.
Bakezōri
A Bakezōri is an animated zōri (straw sandal) from Japanese folklore, classified among tsukumogami — formerly inanimate household implements that become sentient after long use or neglect. They are typically mischievous, running through houses at night and chanting, and are generally described as harmless nuisances rather than truly dangerous beings.
Bakla
Bakla is a Philippine social and gender category—commonly an assigned‑male‑at‑birth person who adopts a feminine gender expression and is often treated as a third gender. Historically some bakla served as indigenous ritual specialists (babaylan, katalonan), but the term itself denotes a social identity, not a supernatural being.
Bakotsu
Bakotsu (馬骨, literally "horse bone") is an Edo-period yōkai entry depicted in the Tosa Obake Zōshi as the skeletal, flaming spirit of a horse that perished in a fire. It is an iconographic example of transformed-animal remains in Edo visual folklore.
