Further in the Grimoire

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). The murti is the temple's living presiding deity in local tradition and is portrayed in devotional narratives as responsive to devotees and capable of intervening in their lives.

Gurzil

Gurzil is an ancient Berber (Amazigh) sacred figure attested in late‑antique and medieval sources and in archaeological remains from Tripolitania. Best known from Corippus’s mid‑6th‑century poem Iohannis as a war‑associated cult image carried into battle by the Laguatan, and attested archaeologically at the site commonly identified as Ghirza.

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.

Gwenhwyfach

Gwenhwyfach is a figure in medieval Welsh Arthurian tradition, named as a sister and antagonist of Gwenhwyfar (Guinevere). Her surviving attestations are fragmentary: she appears in the tale Culhwch and Olwen and is cited in two Welsh Triads as whose quarrel with her sister precipitated the Strife of Camlann.

Gwion Gwion

A regional tradition/style of painted anthropomorphic rock art from the north‑west Kimberley region of Western Australia, characterized by finely rendered human figures with ornamentation. The tradition (also known by local names such as Kiro Kiro/Giro Giro) is archaeologically significant and the subject of debate over age and authorship.

Gwisin

In Korean folklore, gwisin are spirits or ghosts that are humans who have died. Sources describe the term as a class of departed-human spirit, noted as similar to yogoe or mamul and explicitly contrasted with non-human beings such as dokkaebi.

Gwragedd Annwn

In Welsh tradition the Gwragedd Annwn are female Otherworld fairies tied to freshwater—lakes and rivers—counted among the Tylwyth Teg. Depicted as beautiful women (often dressed in green) who live beneath lakes, they herd enchanted white cattle and occasionally cross into the human world.

Gwyllgi

The 'Dog of Darkness' of Welsh folklore — a monstrous black hound with baleful red or yellow eyes that haunts lonely roads at night, its appearance an omen of death.

Gyas

Gyas is a named mortal captain in Virgil's Aeneid, portrayed as one of Aeneas's seafaring leaders and a competitor in the funeral‑games boat race (Book 5). He is remembered for ordering his helmsman Menoetes to steer tightly and then casting him overboard when the order was not followed; later he is briefly reported to have beheaded Ufens (Book 12.460).
