Deutsche Mythology encompasses various supernatural abilities and behaviors attributed to Germanic deities and mythological beings, including magical powers, control over natural phenomena, and interactions with humans.
Alp
A German nightmare demon — often the projected spirit of a living person — who sits on sleeping victims' chests causing terrifying dreams, sleep paralysis, and wasting illness.
Baldr
Baldr (Old Norse Baldr; Old English Bældæġ; Old High German Balder/Palter) is a god in Germanic mythology. In the Norse branch he is named as a son of Odin and Frigg and as a member of the Aesir, attested alongside brothers such as Thor and Váli in the supplied sources.
Black Shuck
A spectral black dog of East Anglian legend, with glowing red or green eyes. Its appearance is an omen of death. Its howl has been heard on clifftops during storms for centuries.
Domar (Dómarr)
Domar (Old Norse Dómarr, 'Judge') is a legendary Swedish king of the Yngling dynasty attested in medieval Scandinavian genealogical sources. He is presented as a mytho-historical ancestral ruler whose long and peaceful reign follows the sacrificial death of his father Domalde and whose own death was marked by cremation at Fyrisvellir and erection of a memorial stone at Uppsala.
Dragon (Long)
Long (龍, "dragon") is a pervasive cultural and artistic motif that appears in Taoist sacred-geographical contexts, Chinese literature, and modern exhibitions; the provided sources treat it as part of the broader mythic imagery present around Taoist sites and ritual scenes rather than as a single, consistently described doctrinal entity.
Draugr
In Nordic folklore the draugr (plural draugar; anglicized draug) is an archaic term for a malevolent revenant — a dead person who returns and remains active in the world of the living. Accounts emphasize variability: traits, behaviours, and descriptions change between stories and across regions, especially in early medieval Icelandic sagas and surviving Norwegian folklore.
Dís (dísir)
In Norse/North Germanic tradition, a dís (pl. dísir) is a collective term for female supernatural beings whose roles range from protective ancestral spirits and fertility figures to fate‑linked women comparable to valkyries or norns; they are invoked in both private and public cult (notably the dísablót) and can be benevolent or hostile toward humans.
Eadgils (Aðils / Adils)
Eadgils is a semi-legendary 6th-century Swedish king of the Yngling/Skilfing dynasty attested in Old Norse skaldic poetry and sagas and in the Anglo-Saxon epic Beowulf. Sources present him as a dynastic figure whose exile, restoration, and conflicts (notably with Onela/Áli and later associations with Hrólfr Kraki) explain succession and inter-kingdom violence; he is treated as a mortal ruler rather than a supernatural being.
Erlking
A sinister Germanic spirit of forest and mist who takes children — appearing to them as a welcoming figure while adults see nothing, the child dying in its parent's arms.
Eystein Halfdansson
Eystein Halfdansson (Old Norse: Eysteinn Hálfdansson) is presented in Norse king-list and saga tradition as a semi-legendary Norwegian petty king of the House of Yngling who ruled Romerike and acquired Vestfold by marriage. He is depicted as a dynastic ruler and Viking raider whose death is attributed in Snorri's Ynglinga saga to a magical act performed by King Skjöld of Varna.
Fairy
A class of anthropomorphic supernatural beings found across multiple European folk traditions, fairies are magical, liminal entities variously described as spirits, an older race, or enchanted people; their depiction ranges from human-sized to diminutive and their attributes and moral alignment vary by region and period.
Fenrir
The monstrous wolf son of Loki, bound by the gods with a magical ribbon until Ragnarök — when he will break free and swallow Odin, and the world.
