The origin story of the Bon-Puri is unclear or absent in the source material.
The recitation of Bon-Puri narratives during shamanic rituals may influence the experiences of those present, conveying spiritual and healing messages.
Bolas
Bolas are a physical throwing weapon consisting of weights connected by cords, used historically and traditionally to entangle the legs of animals (and occasionally humans) at a distance. They appear in multiple regional traditions—notably in southern South America among Tehuelche and gauchos, in Mapuche and Inca military contexts, and in Inuit bird-hunting practice—under a variety of local names and constructions.
Bolbe
In Ancient Greek mythology Bolbe (Βόλβη) is a localized lake goddess or nymph identified with the Macedonian lake of the same name (modern Lake Volvi). She is described as beautiful and is attested as mother of freshwater nymphs (Limnades) and, in one source, as mother of Olynthus by Heracles.
Bolg
The supplied sources do not document Bolg as a traditional supernatural being. Available references identify 'Bolg' primarily as a proper name in modern popular culture (a Middle-earth character in J. R. R. Tolkien's fiction) and as an ordinary lexical item in other contexts (e.g., Irish 'bolg' meaning 'belly'). No ethnographic or folkloric description of a supernatural entity named Bolg is present in the provided materials.
Bolivar Trask
Bolivar Trask is a fictional human character from Marvel Comics and adaptations. A scientist, anthropologist, and industrialist, he initiates large-scale technological programs (most famously the Sentinels) intended to detect and control mutants; his projects and decisions catalyze major human–mutant conflicts across multiple continuities.
Bolotnik
A Slavic place‑spirit of swamps and bogs, regarded in popular tradition as the proprietor or guardian of marshy places who lures people and animals into the depths. Descriptions and names vary regionally; in Christianized accounts bolotniks are sometimes classed with fallen angels or demonic beings.
Bolti
Bolti (attested variant boulti) is a commercial/vernacular name applied to the Nile tilapia (a cichlid fish). In the available sources it is attested as a name for a food/aquaculture species, not as a supernatural being.
Bona Dea
Bona Dea (Latin: "Good Goddess") is an honorific Roman goddess and protective cult figure primarily associated with married women, fertility, healing, and the welfare of the Roman people. Her cult employed a respectful pseudonym, female-exclusive rites, and a polyvalent identity that was variously conflated with other earth/fertility and prophetic goddesses in Roman literary tradition.
Bonadona i Altemir
Bonadona i Altemir are a pair of processional giants (gegants) associated with the town of Premià de Dalt in Catalonia. They function as civic effigies carried in public processions and local festivals, part of the municipality's intangible cultural traditions.
Bonaventure
Bonaventure (Giovanni di Fidanza, 1221–1274) is a historical 13th‑century Italian Franciscan theologian, Minister General of the Order of Friars Minor, cardinal, canonized saint (1482) and Doctor of the Church. Sources treat him as a major medieval ecclesiastical and intellectual figure rather than a folkloric supernatural being; later uses of the name appear as toponyms and institutional names.
Bonbibi
Bonbibi is the Lady of the Forest venerated across Hindu and Muslim communities of the Sundarbans as a local guardian figure for people who work the mangrove (honey-collectors, woodcutters). Her cult functions pragmatically to regulate forest conduct, mediate encounters with tiger-associated spirits, and provide communal protection and meaning during crises.
Bonconte da Montefeltro
Bonconte da Montefeltro (d. 1289) was a late‑13th century Italian nobleman and condottiero associated with the Montefeltro family and the Ghibelline forces at the Battle of Campaldino. In Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy (Purgatorio, Canto 5) he appears as a speaking soul who recounts the circumstances of his death and reports that he died invoking Mary.
Bonga/Bong
Mythological figure from Bengali mythology considered the progenitor of the Bengalis, with conflicting accounts in Hindu and Muslim literature. (Note: 1. Power tier: Primordial is likely an overestimation given the conflicting descriptions and lack of clear abilities. 2. Appearance: Should be stated as "No physical description provided" instead of ")
