Presented in Malay literary and historical tradition as a companion and fellow warrior of Hang Tuah in the Malacca Sultanate (born c. 1400 in the sources). The central episode holds that after Hang Tuah was sentenced to death, Hang Jebat was given the Taming Sari kris and, believing his friend unjustly killed, rose in violent rebellion against the sultan until finally confronted and fatally defeated by Hang Tuah. Varying accounts in the oral and literary tradition amplify or alter details of these events.
Sources do not provide a physical description. He is identified principally by his status as an exceptional silat exponent and by his possession and use of the Taming Sari kris, marking him as a warrior-figure within the court milieu.
Portrayed as one of the greatest silat exponents in Malay tradition and nearly unbeatable when wielding the Taming Sari kris. Narratives describe him wreaking havoc on the palace and city after turning against the ruler, with some accounts claiming prolonged combat (a duel with Hang Tuah lasting seven days) and extended violent aftermath (wounding, bandaging, and then running amok for days). Ethically, he is characterized by principled rebellion against perceived tyrannical rulership, encapsulated in the maxim 'Raja adil raja disembah, raja zalim raja disanggah.'
Hamet (Hamut)
The name Hamet (variant Hamut) appears in modern reference sources as a personal name and in several toponyms. The provided sources do not document any folkloric or supernatural entity called Hamet/Hamut, so no reliable ethnographic or mythological description is available from the supplied material.
Hamr (Norse)
In Norse mythology, Hamr is a manifestation of one's mental or spiritual essence that can take shape outside the body, enabling magical transformation and disguise. (Note: 1. Power tier: Downgrade to Lesser (local spirit) - Primordial implies cosmic or universal power, which doesn't match the description. 2. Origin story: Add "According to some interpretations" or rephr)
Hanako-san
Hanako-san (Toire no Hanako-san) is a modern Japanese urban-legend spirit said to haunt school toilets. Commonly framed as the ghost of a young girl associated with a particular stall/floor of a school lavatory, the figure is transmitted chiefly in school settings and popular media and is described variously as a yūrei or a yōkai.
Hanan (lexical element; as in Hanan Pacha)
Hanan is not attested in the provided sources as an independent goddess. In the Andean/Quechua material within the corpus, hanan functions as a lexical/ontological element meaning the 'upper' or 'higher' realm (as in Hanan Pacha, the Higher World) and appears in compound epithets linking deities (e.g., Inti Hanan Pacha) to that higher world.
Hanbi
A scarcely attested Mesopotamian figure described in modern summaries as the "lord of evil" and as the father of the better-known spirit Pazuzu; preserved mainly in classificatory or genealogical statements rather than narrative myth. Modern commentators sometimes (tentatively) compare him to later Near Eastern concepts of malign shadow-spirits, but primary attestations are fragmentary.
Haneunim / Hananim
Haneunim (하느님) or Hananim (하나님) is the sky god in Korean mythology presented as the supreme heavenly deity. The figure functions as the Lord of Sky in older Korean cosmology, appears in the Dangun foundation myth (via the closely related Hwanin/Hwanung genealogy), and is identified in syncretic religious contexts with high deities such as Indra (Śakra), the Jade Emperor (Okhwang Sangje), and is named in modern Korean religions including Cheondoism and Jeungsanism; the terms have also been used as Korean translations for the Christian concept of God.
Hang Tuah
Hang Tuah is a legendary Malay warrior-admiral and court retainer remembered in the Hikayat Hang Tuah and the Sejarah Melayu; he functions as an idealized silat master, diplomat, and exemplar of loyalty associated with 15th‑century Malacca. The figure appears in narrative cycles that mix court historiography and wonder-tale elements (notably an enchanted kris), while his actual historicity remains debated in scholarship.
Haniel
Haniel is an angelic figure in Jewish and later Western angelology, traditionally counted among the seven archangels. The figure is associated with the planet Venus and is described as the governing archangel of the Kabbalistic sephirah Netzach, embodying qualities of grace, charm, and joy and appearing in later Renaissance esoteric apparatus such as John Dee's Sigillum Dei Aemeth.
Hank Pym
Hank Pym is a fictional American comic-book character: a biochemist-inventor who discovered ‘Pym particles’ that allow dramatic size alteration, who has appeared under multiple costumed identities (Ant-Man, Giant-Man, Goliath, Yellowjacket, briefly Wasp), is a founding member of the Avengers, and is the creator of the robotic villain Ultron. He appears in serialized Marvel comics since 1962 and in Marvel Cinematic Universe films portrayed by Michael Douglas.
Hannahannah (Ḫannaḫanna)
Ḫannaḫanna (rendered here as Hannahannah) is identified in the supplied sources as a Hittite/Hurrian mother or grandmother goddess — an elder maternal figure whose name has been etymologically connected to words meaning 'grandmother.' The available material is limited to classificatory and etymological statements; no primary myths, cult practices, iconography, or ritual texts are supplied in the provided sources.
Hannya (般若)
Hannya is a traditional Japanese Noh mask type and the theatrical/folkloric embodiment of a woman transformed into a resentful, jealous spirit. The mask represents a stage of metamorphosis into an onryō-like figure, visually marked by horns and a leering mouth, and is situated at the intersection of Noh theatre, ritual dance (kagura), and Buddhist-influenced folk belief.
Hantu
