Origin

No mythological origin of a 'Khachkar Spirit' is attested in the supplied sources. The documented origin in the provided material concerns the khachkar as a physical Armenian cross-stone monument; one such khachkar is archaeologically dated to 982 and was discovered in Wadi al-Natrun, Egypt, indicating the historical presence and dispersal of Armenian communities rather than an origin story for a spirit.

Appearance

The provided sources do not describe any supernatural appearance for a khachkar spirit. The attested, non-supernatural form is the khachkar itself: an Armenian cross-stone (a carved stone bearing a cross). No further descriptive detail about carving styles or iconography is given in the supplied excerpts.

Abilities

No abilities, powers, or behaviours of a khachkar spirit are documented in the supplied sources. The materials make no claim that khachkars are animated or possess guardian powers; they treat khachkars as material monuments.

Keong Emas

Keres

In Greek myth the Keres (Κῆρες; singular Κήρ) are night-born, malevolent death-spirits associated with violent death, pestilence, and the ravaging aspects of mortality; they are often portrayed as a swarm of blood‑thirsty female spirits that hover over battlefields and seize the dead and dying.

Kerey Han (also spelled Kirey Han) is a named son of Erlik in Turkic mythic genealogies who is associated with sowing sedition and setting people against one another; he is listed among Erlik's nine sons who hold specific duties and are said to assist shamans who descend into the underworld.

Kerubiel

Kerubiel is named in modern summaries of the apocryphal Book of Enoch tradition as a highly exalted throne-attendant angel who is described as the principal regent over the Cherubim and as one of the most exalted princes of heaven, associated with divine light, fire, and the Shekinah.

Kesari

Kesari is a male vanara in the Ramayana tradition, usually identified as the husband of Anjana and the father (or foster-father in some theological accounts) of the hero Hanuman. He is represented in secondary summaries as a ruler associated with Mount Meru/Sumeru and later as a chief commander among the vanaras of Kishkindha; later retellings also credit him with participation in the war against Ravana, though primary-text attestation for some wartime exploits is uncertain.

Keter

Keter (Hebrew: כֶּתֶר, "crown") is the highest of the ten sefirot in Jewish Kabbalistic cosmology, the first emanation from the Ein Sof that functions as the primal divine will or initial impulse toward creation. It is described as utterly concealed — "the most hidden of all hidden things" — and as the origin point from which subsequent sefirot emerge.

Khan Garuda

Khan Garuda (Garuda) is a divine avian being from Indic religious cosmology, principally known as the mount (vahana) and attendant of the god Vishnu. The figure appears across Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain textual traditions and is embedded in mythic genealogies as a son of Kashyapa and Vinata and brother of Aruna.

Khan of Heaven (Tian Kehan / Tengri Khagan)

A politico-religious title used in Tang‑era diplomacy that linked imperial rulership to the supreme sky/heaven concept (Chinese Tian / Turkic Tengri). It functioned as a formula of recognition conferring celestially sanctioned authority on the Tang emperor in relations with Turkic and other Inner Asian polities between the early 7th century and the late 8th century.

Khandoba’s attendants

A referred category for attendant figures associated with the regional Hindu deity Khandoba in Maharashtrian tradition. The supplied sources discuss Khandoba himself but do not describe attendants such as Kaatoba; therefore no specific attendant identities, roles, or practices are attested in the provided material.

Khara

Khara is a rakshasa (forest-dwelling non-human) commander in the Ramayana tradition, presented as the brother of Shurpanakha who leads an expedition of rakshasas from the Dandaka forest against Rama during the Aranya Kanda.

Khefthernebes

Khefthernebes is a name attested among the corpus of ancient Egyptian deities; surviving sources list the name but do not record any attributes, roles, or myths. The published surveys note that many Egyptian deity names are preserved without indicating character or function, and Khefthernebes appears to be one of those names.
