Devils Tower is considered a spiritual site in the Lakota tradition, rooted in their emphasis on the significance of natural formations like mountains and rock outcroppings as sites for vision quests and other ritual activities.
Devil
A cross-cultural mythic personification of evil and hostile forces, used in religious, literary, and popular contexts to explain temptation, moral corruption, disease, death, and misfortune. Its exact cosmological status varies by tradition, ranging from an independent principle of evil to a created being that became evil or a symbolic embodiment of human wickedness.
Devil Dinosaur
Devil Dinosaur is a red-skinned, Tyrannosaurus-like prehistoric creature from Marvel Comics, native to the alternate-Earth 'Dinosaur World' (Earth-78411). Created by Jack Kirby, he forms a close partnership with Moon-Boy and later befriends Moon Girl in modern stories; he appears both in his home continuity and occasionally in Earth-616 and crossover narratives.
Devil Hulk
An internal, personified alternate personality within Bruce Banner's mind in Marvel Comics that embodies his deepest resentment, self-hatred, and desire for a punitive father-figure; chiefly active in Banner's mental landscape but, when dominant, capable of manifesting physically with destructive gamma-augmented powers.
Devil horse
A polyvalent folkloric and cultural label applied to horses or horse-shaped phenomena interpreted as malevolent, uncanny, or diabolically influenced in disparate literary, toponymic, and cinematic sources. The term appears in place-name folklore, fiction, film titles, and as an epithet attached to ordinary horses, but the sources do not present a single, coherent supernatural taxonomy for a discrete species called "Devil horse."
Devil's Grandmother
A named folkloric figure in Northern European (especially German-speaking) tradition who appears in fairy tales and proverbs as the Devil's grandmother (Teufels Großmutter / Teufels Mutter) or regional variants (die alte Frick, alte Fuik). She is ambivalent in function: in some tale cycles a helpful elder who intervenes for mortals, in other regional lore a fearsome sorceress who presides over witch-sabbaths and commands dangerous supernatural entourage.
Devil-Slayer (Eric Simon Payne)
A fictional American comic-book vigilante who is a former cult member turned occult monster-hunter; a human practitioner who combines trained martial and marksmanship skills with a mystically created "shadow cloak" that permits limited dimensional travel and other paranormal effects.
Dewi Danu
Dewi Danu is the Balinese Hindu water goddess central to the island's Agama Tirta / Agama Tirtha ritual system. She is particularly associated with the crater lake near the peak of Mount Batur and the Ulun Danu Batur temple, where seasonal offerings are made to secure and give thanks for irrigation water that sustains terraced rice agriculture.
Dewi Lanjar
Dewi Lanjar is a Javanese/Indonesian female sea spirit often called the Queen of the Northern Sea and closely associated with the coast of Pekalongan (Pantai Utara). In local legend she is a transformed princess who commands jinn, has a recognized palace on the Pekalongan shore, and is paired cosmologically with Nyai Roro Kidul, the Queen of the Southern Sea.
Dewi Ratih
Dewi Ratih is a Hindu-derived lunar goddess worshipped in Java and Bali, revered for her beauty and associated with the Moon and the explanation of lunar eclipses. She is honored in recurring Balinese full-moon (purnama) ceremonies that celebrate the Moon's beauty alongside the lunar god Chandra.
Dewi Sri
Dewi Sri (also Shridevi, Nyai Pohaci Sanghyang Asri in Sundanese contexts) is the indigenous rice-and-fertility goddess of parts of the Indonesian archipelago (Java, Bali, Lombok and surrounding islands). She is a living cultic presence in village ritual life believed to preside over rice, household and communal prosperity, and the prevention of famine; in Hindu-influenced contexts she is often equated or syncretized with the Sanskritic goddess Sri/Lakshmi.
Dexamene
Dexamene (Greek: Δεξαμένη) is one of the fifty Nereids, the sea-nymph daughters of the sea-god Nereus and the Oceanid Doris in Greek myth. She is named in genealogical lists of the Nereids but has no individually attested myths or distinct cult practices in the cited sources.
Dexamenus
Dexamenus (Ancient Greek Δεξάμενος) is a name applied to multiple mytho-historical mortal figures in Greek tradition—chiefly local kings or eponymous ancestors associated with Olenus and Ambracia—best known from tales in which Heracles rescues a daughter from the centaur Eurytion. The name literally means 'hospitable' or 'receiver' and functions as a host-figure and genealogical anchor in regional heroic narratives.
