A scholarly category of gods and divine figures whose proper sphere is thresholds, borders, and transitions — places and moments where one state gives way to another. The term aggregates culturally specific deities (e.g., Janus, Hecate, Charon, Cheng'huang, Menshen, Jangseung, Bes) that function as guardians, psychopomps, or mediators at crossings of space, time, or condition.

Limnaee
Limnaee (also rendered Limnaíē or Limnaee) is a type of naiad — a freshwater nymph in Greek tradition — conceived as a female nature-spirit presiding over localized bodies of fresh water such as springs, wells, brooks and fountains. She is presented in sources as a place-bound guardian-personification of a water-site, distinct from river-gods who embody whole rivers.
Limokon
A culturally specific omen bird in Mindanao Philippine traditions (notably Mandaya, Bagobo, and Manobo). Its vocalizations are interpreted as messages from the unseen or spirit world and are used to guide immediate practical decisions; in some Mandaya origin tales it also appears as a primordial, speaking dove involved in creation.
Lindworm
The lindworm is a European serpent/dragon‑like monster attested across Northern, Western and Central Europe. Varieties range from limbless giant forest serpents in Scandinavian lore to two‑limbed or winged dragonic forms in Central European art and legend; it appears in both treasure‑guardian and cursed‑bridegroom narrative cycles.
Lineage of Mahabali
A significant ancestral line within Hindu mythology tracing the descent of the Daitya clan from sage Kashyapa through Raja Bali. (Note: 1.

Lingji (灵吉)
Lingji (灵吉; Língjí) is a fictional Bodhisattva figure invented by Wu Cheng'en in the 16th‑century novel Journey to the West.

Linh Hồn của núi (literally, "spirit/soul of the mountain") is a descriptive label for a mountain spirit in Vietnamese language; the supplied sources contain no specific folkloric descriptions, rituals, or origin stories for an entity explicitly named "Linh Hồn của núi." The phrase participates in a broader Vietnamese cultural field where spirits and memory are topics of artistic and historical reflection, but concrete traditions for this exact name are not present in the provided materials.
Linh hồn (sông) — research notes
Notes on the concept of 'linh hồn' as found in three Hồng Hoang (xianxia) excerpts; sources discuss disembodied, transmigrating souls and cosmic mechanisms but do not provide material specifically about Vietnamese river spirits ('linh hồn sông' or 'thủy quỷ').
Linton Worm
A serpent-like monstrous "worm" from Scottish Borders folklore associated with a hollow on Linton Hill; traditionally described as a large wyrm that ravaged people, livestock and crops and was overcome in a heroic confrontation. The legend is presented in sources as medieval in origin and comparable to other British worm/dragon tales such as the Lambton Worm.
