Kompira (Konpira / Konpira Gongen)
Kompira (Konpira, Konpira Gongen) is a locally venerated Japanese protective deity associated primarily with the sea, sailors, and seafaring safety. Centered on the mountain Kotohira in Kagawa Prefecture, the cult is syncretic—embedded in Shinto shrine practice, Shugendō asceticism, and historically described in some texts with Buddhist identifications or foreign-origin narratives.
Komur Han
Komur Han is a named underworld functionary in Turkic myth, listed among the nine sons or subordinate 'hans' of Erlik. He is associated symbolically with coal/charcoal and darkness and is described in popular summaries as commanding evil entities and mediating between Erlik and 'dark shamans.'
Konaki-jiji
Konaki-jiji (子泣き爺) is a yōkai from Japanese folklore, originating in the mountain regions of Tokushima Prefecture on Shikoku and later recorded in national yōkai collections. It is known for luring compassionate travelers by imitating the cry of an infant and then suddenly becoming a crushing heavy weight that kills the carrier.
Kongamato
A pterosaur-like creature said to be a fearsome entity capable of causing large wounds, reportedly seen in the Jiwundu Swamps in western Zambia, Angola, and Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Sensory cues: Add that witnesses report s)
Kopala
In Georgian tradition, Kopala is a hero or demigod with exceptional strength and strategic thinking, revered in the highlands of Pshavi. (Note: - Power tier: Lesser (Kopala is a demigod/hero, not Primordial) - Abilities: While Kopala's strength and strategic thinking are evident, there's no mention of Kviria's aid surpassing the ogres' throw;)
Korean Mythological Pantheon

Kormos (also Kormoz; Tuvan: кормос; Turkish: Körmöz/Körmös) is a Turkic category of spirit-entities encompassing a range of post-mortem conditions — ancestral or beneficent sky-spirits, wandering suffering souls on earth, and demonic underworld spirits — variously described as helpful, harmful, or ambivalent depending on subtype and allegiance.
Koromodako
A coastal yōkai from northern Kyoto Prefecture folklore described as a small octopus-like creature that can expand like a piece of clothing or blanket to enwrap and sink boats and people. The lore is localized to promontory areas of the Tango (Yosa) Peninsula and Wakasa Bay.
