Kala Rau (unattested in supplied sources)

A sect of danavas in Hindu mythology, fighting under the asura banner. (Note: 1. Power tier: "Greater" is incorrect; given their number (60,000) and ability to fight under various banners, a more plausible power tier would be "Primordial". 2. Origin story: The draft claims the )

Kalantiaw is a named pre‑Hispanic ruler presented in early 20th‑century Philippine publications as the author of a penal code dated 1433 and associated with Panay (Aklan). Modern scholarship, beginning with William Henry Scott's research in the 1960s and later formal recognition by Philippine historical institutions, classifies Kalantiaw and the Code of Kalantiaw as twentieth‑century forgeries originating in materials promoted by José E. Marco and others.

Kalevi
Finnish giant and heroic figure, often associated with pre-human or archaic layer of existence.

Kalevipoeg ('Kalev's Son') is the central culture-hero of Estonian runic-song tradition and the 19th-century epic assembled by Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwald.
