Origin

The supplied sources do not provide an origin myth. In the demonological summaries cited Morax appears as a named, ranked spirit in compiled lists of demons—given offices such as Great Earl and President—without a narrative origin provided in the available excerpts.

Appearance

The provided traditional demonological summaries in the available sources do not give a consistent or authoritative physical description of Morax. Physical details appearing in modern roleplay and fiction are specific to those adaptations and are not corroborated by the classical demonology excerpts supplied.

Abilities

According to the demonological summaries cited, Morax 'teaches astronomy and all other liberal sciences' and is described as commanding thirty (thirty-two in some accounts) legions of demons. Modern occult commentary repeats the teaching aspect (treating him as a teaching demon). Other detailed powers or behaviors and the truncated continuation in one excerpt are not present in the supplied materials.

Monster Slayer (Nayenezgani)

Within the limited sources supplied, 'Monster Slayer' is used as an English label on a Wikipedia disambiguation page to refer to Nayenezgani, identified there only as "a character from the Navajo creation myth." The provided materials contain no narrative, descriptive, or ritual information about this figure beyond that single listing.

Moon god (lunar deity)

Mopsus

Mopsus is a legendary seer of the Graeco-Anatolian tradition known from archaic Greek poetry and later Anatolian and Phoenician inscriptions. He appears in myth as a prophetic figure—sometimes son of Manto or of Apollo—and in epigraphic records as an eponymous ancestor (Muksa/Muksos) connected to early Iron Age dynastic houses in southern Anatolia.

Morana (seasonal goddess)

A pan-Slavic female figure personifying the death of winter whose ritual demise at winter's end is linked to the rebirth of spring goddesses such as Kostroma, Lada, or Vesna. Sources treat her as an ancient goddess associated with seasonal rites and with dreams.

Morgan le Fay

A mutable figure of the Arthurian tradition variously portrayed as an enchantress, healer, fairy-queen, or human noblewoman. Early accounts emphasize her role as a healer and leader of supernatural women at Avalon; later prose romances often recast her as an ambivalent or antagonistic sorceress in relation to Arthur and his court.

Moritasgus (Apollo Moritasgus)

Moritasgus is a Celtic epithet for a healing deity attested in four inscriptions at Alesia. In two of those inscriptions he is explicitly identified with the Greco‑Roman god Apollo, and his consort is named as the goddess Damona.

Moroi

A moroi is a revenant or undead spirit in Romanian and neighbouring Central/Eastern European folklore associated with failed birth/death rites and nocturnal harm.

Morphe (μορφή)

Morphe (Greek: μορφή) is a lexical term meaning "form," "shape," or "outward appearance" attested in ancient Greek and discussed in New Testament exegesis. The provided sources show no coherent folkloric or mythic entity named "Morphe"; modern uses of the sequence "Morphe" in brand and project names are likewise non-mythic appropriations of the word or signifier.

In Slavic folklore, Moryana is a complex sea spirit who rules the winds and poses a threat to ships. (Note: - The power tier is incorrectly assigned (Ancient) given that it only rules the winds and poses a threat to ships, which would be more consistent with a Greater power tier. - Sensory cues: coastal reg)
