Gigantius
Gigantius is the Maastricht stadsreus (city giant), a constructed processional figure used in civic parades and festivals in Maastricht, Netherlands, maintained and presented by a local Reuzengilde/Foundation rather than described as a supernatural being.
Gil-galad
Gil-galad is a fictional Elven king in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium, described as the last High King of the Noldor who founded a realm in Lindon, co-led the Last Alliance with Elendil against Sauron at the end of the Second Age, and died in the final hand-to-hand confrontation with Sauron.
Gilgamesh
Gilgamesh is a semi-divine legendary king of the Sumerian city of Uruk who features as the protagonist of a pan‑Mesopotamian epic tradition. Portrayed in literary sources as a demigod of superhuman strength, he is both a historical monarch recorded in king lists and a later object of cultic veneration.
Gingerbread Man
A cultural motif that exists both as a human‑shaped gingerbread biscuit and as an anthropomorphic figure in European fairy‑tale and modern media: in tales a baked gingerbread cookie 'comes to life', speaks, runs from pursuers, and in the canonical story is ultimately eaten by a fox. The figure functions as a seasonal culinary object and as a narrative character rather than a systematic spirit-type in traditional cosmologies.
Ginnungagap
In Old Norse myth, Ginnungagap is the primordial void or gaping chasm that existed before creation; positioned between the cold north (Niflheim) and the fiery south (Múspellheim), it is the liminal space where ice and sparks met and from which the primordial beings and the ordered world emerged.

Girra (Sumerian Gibil) is the Mesopotamian god/personification of fire, attested in offering lists and temple contexts from the Early Dynastic period through the Kassite period and later Assyrian and Uruk sources. He embodies both the purificatory and destructive aspects of fire and functions within temple ritual and purification practice; his emblem is a torch.
Girtablullu
Girtablullu is an Akkadian-era hybrid monster described in secondary sources as a 'scorpion-man' (human head and arms with a scorpion body).

Gishiki Hachimen Daiō (unattested name)
The name 'Gishiki Hachimen Daiō' is not attested in the provided sources as a discrete folkloric entity.

Gitche Manitou
