Filippo Argenti

Filippo Argenti is a historical 13th-century Florentine nobleman (Adimari family, Black Guelphs) who appears as a named damned soul in Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy (Inferno, Canto VIII), located among the wrathful in the river Styx. In Dante’s poem he functions as a recognizable moral exemplum of wrath: he accosts the pilgrim and is subsequently attacked by other wrathful souls.

Fimafeng

Fimafeng is a named serving-man in the hall of the sea-god Ægir in the Norse poem Lokasenna. He is praised for his skillful service at a divine feast and is suddenly slain by Loki, an act that provokes the gods to drive Loki out of the hall.

Fin Fang Foom

Fin Fang Foom is a Marvel Comics extraterrestrial dragon-like monster (a Makluan) created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. In-universe he is an alien of great size and power who arrived on ancient Earth, has been awakened and contained multiple times, and whose portrayals range from invader/weapon to a reformed/rehabilitated being.

Fingolfin

Fingolfin is a named Elven king of the Noldor in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. Son of Finwë, he led the greatest host of the Noldor that fled Aman, became High King of the Noldor in Middle-earth after Maedhros renounced his claim, maintained a long siege of Angband, and finally rode alone to challenge Morgoth, wounding him before being slain.

Finn (Frisian)

Finn is a named legendary Frisian king of the heroic age attested in Old English poetry (Widsith, the Finnesburg Fragment) and in the episode preserved within Beowulf. He appears in narratives of inter-ethnic warfare, hospitality, and the uneasy settlements that follow slaughter, sometimes portrayed as ruling honorably over surviving enemy retainers and in other variants as slain in the conflict.

Finnic Incantations

A collection of traditional magical formulas and spells used to effect change in the world, primarily found in Finnish folklore. (Note: - Power tier should be revised to Primordial as the described abilities suggest a profound impact on the world, implying they are not just "powerful regional" but rather have a more fundamental effect)

Finwë and Míriel

Principal Elven figures in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium: Finwë, first King of the Noldor, and his first wife Míriel, famed for creative craft. Their personal choices — Míriel's voluntary relinquishment of embodied life and Finwë's remarriage and later murder — provoke adjudication by the Valar and have far-reaching legal and historical consequences in the history of the Eldar.

Fir Bolg

In medieval Irish myth the Fir Bolg are presented as a people — the fourth group to settle and rule Ireland in the traditional sequence of successive populations; in modern fantasy they have been re‑appropriated as a race of large, forest‑dwelling humanoids (often rendered 'Firbolg') in role‑playing games.

Fire-breathing monster

A cross-cultural mythic category of monster defined by the ability to expel flame (or fire-like phenomenon) from the mouth or nostrils. Appears in multiple traditions (e.g., Greco-Roman, Hebrew/Biblical, Anglo‑Saxon, Japanese, Philippine, Native American, West African, Mapuche) and in modern fantasy as a recurring trope.

Firebird (Slavic folklore)

A marvelous luminous bird from Slavic folktales, the Firebird (zhar-ptitsa) is a glowing, often fire‑colored bird whose appearance initiates quests and whose possession brings both wonder and misfortune. It functions as a coveted wonder and a dangerous omen within tale cycles.

Firedrake

A term in English tradition for dragon-shaped manifestations of fire observed in the sky; used both as an Old English poetic word for dragon (fyrdraca) and, from the Renaissance onward, to describe luminous aerial phenomena such as meteors or ignis fatuus. Sources treat firedrakes variously as mythic dragons, atmospheric luminous vapors, or morally charged apparitions (e.g., the Devil in dragon form).

First Humans in Slavic Mythology

Central concept in the narrative of human creation, reflecting a worldview that values ancestry and tradition. (Note: 1. Power tier should be changed to Lesser or Minor Spirit (there's no indication that they have primordial power). 2. Summary is accurate but could be more specific about what makes them central to th)
