Within the European grimoire tradition (not a mythic origin tale in the sense of folkloric cosmogony), Leraje is recorded as one of the rostered spirits in compendia such as the Ars Goetia (Lesser Key of Solomon), Johann Weyer’s Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, and later demonological reference works. The texts present him as a named, ranked infernal officer — a marquis with legions under his command — rather than providing a narrative account of creation or descent.
Grimoire-derived descriptions depict Leraje as a gallant and handsome archer clad in green, carrying a bow and quiver. This archer imagery is the principal recurring visual representation recorded in the cited sources.
Grimoire summaries attribute to Leraje the power to cause great battles and disputes, to produce arrow-induced wounds that become gangrenous, and to influence lovers — making a lover come to a person or sending them away. He is also recorded as commanding thirty-three legions of demons, indicating authority to marshal subordinate spirits within the grimoire cosmology.

Leonteus
Leonteus is a personal name borne by several human figures in Greek mythic tradition, most prominently a Thessalian/Lapith commander who led contingents to Troy in the Iliadic cycle. He functions as a mortal heroic leader and occasional genealogical ancestor in variant traditions rather than as an independent supernatural being.
Leprechaun
A diminutive, solitary supernatural being from Irish folklore, commonly depicted as a shoemaker who delights in mischief and is associated with hidden or buried treasure. Prominent in later folkloric collections and the 19th‑century literary revival rather than central early mythic cycles.
Leraie

Les Lavandières
Three supernatural entities in Celtic tradition associated with death and mortality. (Note: - Power tier: Minor Spirit (not Greater) as their abilities seem limited in scope. - Origin story: Mention "possibly" is not necessary; the text directly states a connection to the triple goddess, but)
Lesbian vampire
A literary and cinematic trope that fuses traditional vampire motifs with eroticized female same‑sex desire. Originating in 19th‑century Gothic fiction and developed through 20th‑century cinema, the figure functions narratively to explore, sensationalize, or critique sapphic desire and female sexual transgression.
Leshy
A tutelary forest being in Slavic folklore; an embodied, territorial power of the woods that can protect, mislead, or punish humans depending on their behaviour toward the forest. Highly variable in form and described across many regional variants and names.
Lete
Lete is not attested in the provided sources as a supernatural being. The attested uses of the form 'Lete' are lexical and onomastic: a Basque toponym and surname, an ancient city (Lete in Mygdonia), a modern village in Nepal, an entry-word in the constructed language Toki Pona meaning 'cold' (with an associated glyph), an esoteric programming language (esolang) called Lete, an ICAO airport code (LETE for Morante Airfield), and a proper name applied to an exoplanet. No sources in the consulted corpus describe Lete as a spirit, demon, deity, or monster.
Lethus
Lethus is not attested as a single traditional supernatural being in the supplied sources; the lexical form appears in multiple unrelated contexts: as a Greek mythic personal name (father of Pylaeus), as a taxonomic label in entomology, as modern personal/user names, and as a single modern fan-made fictional monster (the "Lethus Dragon" on a D&D wiki). No coherent folkloric ontology, rituals, or traditional powers are documented for an entity called Lethus.
