The source states that Ayaz Ata originates from Tengrism and is characterized as a winter god; it also identifies the figure as a fictional tale character in Turkic contexts. The source does not provide a narrative of origin, transformation, or historical development connecting the Tengrist origin to later folkloric roles.
No physical description is provided in the source. The only descriptive claim is a functional comparison to Santa Claus and Ded Moroz; the source does not assert specific appearance details.
The source does not enumerate specific supernatural powers. It describes Ayaz Ata functionally as a winter-associated figure and as the Turkic counterpart to seasonal gift-bringers such as Santa Claus and Ded Moroz, which implies an association with winter and holiday gift-giving in folklore but does not specify abilities or mechanisms.
Abzar İyesi
A Turkic iyesi (possessive/guardian spirit) of the courtyard, outbuildings, and farmstead grounds; ambivalent in nature, it protects its domain but may harm livestock and cause mischief, often appearing in animal forms.
Ay Ata
Ay Ata (Ay Dede) is the personified Moon in Turkic myth and traditional Tengrism, commonly glossed as 'Moon Father.' He is paired with the sun-being (Gun Ana / Kün Ana) in a layered sky cosmology and figures in folk tales, epic traditions, and shamanic prayer contexts.
Ergene İyesi
Ergene İyesi is a Turkic underground protector/guardian spirit of mine pits and subterranean workings, keeper of gems, crystals, and precious metals. It guides and protects respectful miners, warns of danger with cat-like sounds or whistling, and punishes those who insult or offend it.
Erkliğ Han
Erkliğ Han is a Turkic–Altai celestial lord associated with space, stars, meteorites (falling stars), and the planet Venus. Traditionally titled a Han (ruler), he is described in source material as responsible for visible stellar phenomena, linked in some lists with virility and read as a martial symbol by analogy to his action at sunrise.
Etügen Eke
Etügen Eke (also Etügen, Itügen, Etügen Ekhe) is an earth-mother goddess in Turkic and Mongolic Tengrism traditions, personifying the earth, fertility, homeland and natural forces. She is described in the sources as occupying a high place in the cosmic order, subordinate only to Kök‑Tengri, and is propitiated with seasonal sacrifices tied to pastoral and agricultural cycles.
Su İyesi
Su İyesi is a Turkic water spirit — a localized guardian (iye) of bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, ponds and springs. It appears in male and female personifications (Su Ana, Su Ata) and is associated with both beneficent functions (bringing rain) and dangerous actions (drownings, floods, wrecks) when offended.
Tengri
Tengri is the supreme sky/heaven principle in early Turkic and Mongolic religious frameworks, functioning as both the cosmic blue sky and a source of sovereign will, fate, and legitimacy. Central to Tengrism, Tengri is invoked in cosmology, political ideology, and shamanic/ancestor-associated practices.

Yer iyesi is the familiar spirit or guardian of the earth and specific territory in Turkic/Tatar and related Tengrism traditions. Conceived as a land-attached iye, it appears in male and female forms (Yer Ata and Yer Ana) and is associated with protection of land and, in the female aspect, fertility and primordial presence at cosmogony.
Ülgen
Ülgen is a benevolent creator and high-sky deity in Turkic traditional belief (often discussed under Tengrism). He is credited with creating earth, heaven and living beings, promotes abundance and welfare, and functions as patron of shamans; in sources he is usually distinct from Tengri but in some accounts identified or conflated with Tengri.
