No creation myth or origin narrative for Khetor is provided in the supplied excerpts. In the cited materials Khetor functions as a named member of local taxonomies of nonhuman agents invoked in explanations of illness and misfortune rather than as a figure with an attendant cosmogonic story (sources list Khetor among other culturally salient supernatural figures).
The provided sources do not record a consistent physical description of Khetor. Mentions occur in catalogues of figures/images and health-care literature without morphological detail, so its visual form is not documented in these excerpts.
In the Tai Khamyang ethnomedical account a highly fierce spirit called Mota Khetor is specifically said to cause miscarriages and female sterility, killing the fetus within two to three months of pregnancy. Elsewhere Khetor is listed among spirits and figures tied to disease and misfortune in Bodo and Karbi inventories, which implies a role as a harmful supernatural agent in local explanatory frameworks but offers no further specific powers in the provided texts.
