Historically attested as Gundaharius (Gundahar), a king of the Burgundians in the early 5th century who led his people across the Rhine and was later defeated and slain during Aetius's campaign (c. 436) when Hunnic mercenaries destroyed the Burgundian polity. Over subsequent centuries the historical figure was reworked into vernacular heroic narratives (e.g., Waltharius, the Nibelungenlied, Old Norse sagas), where he appears as a king entangled in dynastic, martial, and courtly episodes rather than as a supernatural origin figure.
Sources present Gunther as a human royal: a king or leader at court (for example, described as king of the Burgundians historically and as king of the Franks at Worms in Waltharius). No systematic supernatural or physical descriptions (colors, otherworldly forms) are recorded in the provided materials; portrayals emphasize social rank, attire and martial bearing only insofar as the literary context implies a kingly warrior.
No supernatural powers are attributed. Historical agency includes leading his people as a martial and political commander, negotiating settlement as foederati within the Roman world, and engaging in alliances and warfare. Legendary behaviors echo these roles: courtly decision-making, commissioning retainers (notably Hagen) to act, participating in martial contests and dynastic intrigues, and being involved in treasure, marriage, and vengeance motifs in heroic narratives.
Guiron le Courtois
Guiron le Courtois is a literary knight-errant from the Old French Arthurian prose-romance tradition, central to the Palamedes/Guiron compilation of the 13th century and later manuscript and printed continuations. He functions in the narrative cosmos as an exemplar of courtly conduct whose adventures, loyalties, and lineage are narrated within the wider Round Table milieu.
Gul (Ghoul)
A folkloric Persian/Turkic monstrous being (Persian غول, Turkish ğul) described in etymological and lexical sources as an 'imaginary sylvan demon' that devours men and animals; the term also entered European languages and later literary usage as 'ghoul'/'goule'.
Gul-e-Siyah (Black Flower)
No documented information about a supernatural entity named Gul-e-Siyah (Black Flower) appears in the supplied source materials. The provided archives and media synopsis do not mention a Persian lesser female ghost or any being by this name; thus no verified descriptive or ritual material can be supplied from these sources.
Gulyabani
A Turkish folkloric figure described in modern sources as a large, ghoul-like nocturnal outsider associated with desolate places and with frightening people at night. Attested mainly in media descriptions (film entries and brief encyclopedia-style notes), the figure is represented both as a humongous bearded ghoul and, in at least one art-film description, as a restless spirit of a lonely place.
Gumiho (Nine‑tailed fox)
A fox‑spirit in Korean storytelling derived from wider East Asian nine‑tailed‑fox motifs. Traditionally depicted as a shapeshifting fox that can take human form (commonly female in many stories), the gumiho appears across older folktales and numerous contemporary Korean media where it functions variously as trickster, predator, or sympathetic protagonist.
Guneus
Guneus (Ancient Greek Γουνεὺς) is a mortal heroic-age chieftain and eponymous ancestor attested in Homeric epic and later Greek genealogical tradition. In the Iliad Catalogue of Ships he leads contingents (the Enienes and Perrhaebi) to Troy; other sources record variant parentage and a postwar settlement in Libya.
Gunungsin (War Gods)
Korean deities associated with war and conflict, possibly connected to the Jakjaegeon myth. (Note: 1. Power tier should be Primordial only if it's supported by source material; based on the provided sources, the power level is unspecified. 2. Abilities are unknown or unspecified in source material,)
Gupna (Gufna)
In Mandaean cosmology, the gupna or gufna is described in secondary sources as an uthra — a personified, heavenly grapevine that resides in the World of Light. References are brief and present the figure as a sacralized vine elevated into the register of luminous beings rather than as a terrestrial plant.
Guruvayurappan
Guruvayurappan is the local form of the Hindu god Vishnu worshipped at the Guruvayur Temple in Kerala, identified specifically with Krishna in his child form (Guruvayur Unnikkannan).

Gurzil
Gurzil is an ancient Berber (Amazigh) sacred figure attested in late‑antique and medieval sources and in archaeological remains from Tripolitania.

Gusainji Maharaj
A revered figure in Hindu tradition, venerated by both Hindus and Muslims. (Note: 1. Power tier should be Lowered from Primordial to Ancient, as no cosmic or deity-level abilities are mentioned. 2. No specific weaknesses, wards, or sensory cues can be determined from the source mat)
Gusion
Gusion is a named spirit recorded in the grimoire tradition of the Ars Goetia (Lesser Key of Solomon), presented there and in later compilations as a high-ranking demon who commands subordinate spirits and is queried by practitioners for information about temporal matters.
