Within Arnhem Land Dreaming and rock‑art contexts, Mimi figures are understood through English‑language sources as part of the category of spirit‑figure paintings that are said to be the actual ancestral beings rather than the work of any human artist. These images are inherited and held in custodianship by local people, situating the Mimi as ancestral or Dreaming presences embodied in particular painted sites and rock formations rather than as a modern literary invention.
Sources consistently describe Mimi as having extremely thin, elongated bodies—so thin that they are said to risk breaking in a high wind. Their depiction occurs in regional rock art, and their morphology in those images emphasises spindly, fragile forms. The available sources do not provide standardized detail on colouration, clothing, gendering, or exact scale beyond the emphasis on extreme thinness and elongation and their association with rock imagery.
Descriptions in the available material do not attribute specific supernatural powers such as speech, blessing, or harm to Mimi. Ethnographic summaries note behavioural association with the rocky landscape: Mimi are said to inhabit rock crevices and rock‑shelters, a habit explained in sources as a practical response to their fragility (to avoid breaking in wind). Beyond being represented as ancestral presences in Dreaming rock art and thereby part of the region's spiritual landscape, no explicit magical abilities or patterns of interaction with humans are recorded in the supplied sources.

Mielikki
Mielikki is a Finnish forest-personification variously described as the Mistress of the Forest (Metsän emäntä) and a metsänhaltija whose favour is sought by hunters and shepherds. She is portrayed in runic songs and the Kalevala as a giver of game, a healer of animals, and a localized spirit who inhabits particular trees such as spruces.
Mikelats
Mikelats (also spelled Mikelatz / Mikelat) is a figure in Basque mythic narratives, typically presented as one of two brothers born to the goddess Mari in some tellings and taught by a cave‑dwelling teacher named Etsai; in modern retellings he is characterized as the 'profane' counterpart to the 'sacred' Atarrabi and his name is used locally as that of a festival giant (erraldoi) in Mendillorri.
Mikula Selyaninovich
Bogatyr and plowman from the Novgorod Republic bylina cycle, associated with strength and courage. (Note: - Power tier: Ancient (due to being a bogatyr and having deity-level abilities associated with courage) - Origin story: should be included - Appearance: should be described based on source material - )
Mileena
Mileena is a fictional humanoid antagonist from the Mortal Kombat video-game franchise: an engineered or otherwise altered counterpart to the Edenian princess Kitana who functions as a rival, spy, and claimant to rulership within Outworld/Edenian political narratives. She is portrayed across multiple game continuities with recurring visual motifs (Kitana-like costume, pronounced Tarkatan teeth) and signature fighting mechanics (sais, teleport-kick, ground roll, graphic Fatalities).
Mimas (Aeneid)

Min
Min (Egyptian mnw) is an ancient Egyptian deity of male fertility, sexual potency, and agricultural renewal whose cult began in the predynastic period and was centered at Upper Egyptian cities such as Coptos (Koptos/Qift) and Akhmim (Panopolis). His worship involved public festivals (a "coming forth" and harvest-season rites), votive phallic offerings, and royal associations through syncretism with Horus and Amun and kamutef (self-fathering) imagery.
Min Farshaw (Elmindreda Farshaw)
Elmindreda "Min" Farshaw is a named fictional human character in Robert Jordan's high-fantasy series The Wheel of Time. The provided sources identify her as a character appearing at least in the first novel, The Eye of the World, and an archive item title references her in connection with "visions."
Minepa
Minepa is a name attested both as a Tanzanian place-name and, in a small number of modern compilations and database entries, as a spirit label associated with the Makua (Makuwa). Documentary evidence treating Minepa as a supernatural being is sparse and consists largely of secondary lists and a machine-readable database tag rather than ethnographic description.
Minhocão
Minhocão is a legendary monstrous animal in Brazilian folklore described variously as an enormous earthworm, fish-like, or serpentine creature. Folkloric accounts portray it as subterranean or amphibious and associate its passage with large-scale alterations to the landscape (e.g., sinkholes, terrain changes).
Minkah (Lakota)
No documented Lakota supernatural being named 'Minkah' is present in the supplied source set. The name appears in the provided materials only as the given name of a contemporary individual (Minkah Fitzpatrick); there are no ethnographic, linguistic, or folkloric sources in the corpus that describe a Lakota entity called Minkah.
Minnie Quay
A place‑bound apparition from Forester (present-day Forester Township), Michigan: Mary Jane "Minnie" Quay is a local ghost legend of a teenage girl who drowned in 1876 and whose spirit is said to haunt the pier, beaches, and cemetery. The tale survives in local oral tradition, regional ghost literature, and popular retellings; a customary practice of leaving offerings at her gravesite is associated with the legend.
