Weaknesses
Wards
Akhu Tönpa
A Tibetan trickster figure, sent by Chenrezig to teach the art of being shrewd and witty, while championing the common man against social hierarchies. (Note: - Power tier should be Lesser or Minor Spirit, not Ancient, as it's more aligned with local spirit level of trickster figures. - The ability to outwit those in positions of power suggests Greater or P)
Chakravarti
An ideal universal ruler in Indian historiography and religion, holding supreme power over various geographical regions. (Note: - Power tier: Should be "Primordial" -> Incorrect; a Primordial entity would have cosmic powers. Revisit and assign a more fitting power tier based on abilities (e.g., Greater or Ancient). - Origin )
Rāhula
Historical figure and son of the Buddha Siddhartha Gautama, illustrating key Buddhist concepts through his story. (Note: 1. Remove "Primordial" power tier, as it implies cosmic-level abilities, which is not supported by source material. 2. Add sensory cues and weaknesses consistent with Rāhula's character in Buddhist te)
The Great Renunciation
A pivotal event in Buddhist tradition, marking Gautama Buddha's transition from a life of luxury to one of asceticism. (Note: 1. Power tier: Minor Spirit is incorrect; The Great Renunciation is not an entity with powers or behaviors, so it should be classified as none or Primordial (since it's a pivotal event). 2. Sensory cu)
Trailokyavijaya
Buddhist wrathful deity and manifestation of the bodhisattva Vajrapāṇi, associated with fierce power and protection. (Note: - Power tier: Trailokyavijaya is not described as Primordial in the source material. Given his association with Vajrapāṇi and being a Wisdom King, it would be more accurate to categorize him as Ancien)
Nian (Year Beast)
A folkloric monstrous beast in modern Chinese popular accounts that is said to emerge annually at the turn of the year to raid villages. The legend functions as an etiological explanation for many Chinese New Year customs—fireworks, red decorations, loud noises, and the lion dance—though explicit references to a named creature called nian in older textual sources are scarce.
Nibelung
A personal or clan name in Norse mythology associated with misty or ambiguous realms, also giving its name to the Middle High German epic Nibelungenlied. (Note: - Power tier: Primordial (given the ambiguous and multifaceted nature suggested by source material) - Appearance: Add a note that specific physical description does not exist, but may be implied by as)
Nicostratus
Nicostratus is attested in Greek mythographic and reference material as a son of Menelaus, variously said to be by Helen of Troy or by a slavewoman. He appears in genealogical listings and name-disambiguation contexts rather than as an active character in surviving narrative episodes.
Nidhi
Nidhi (Sanskrit: निधि, nidhi) is a Sanskrit term meaning 'treasure' and within Hindu mythological tradition denotes the set of nine treasures (navanidhi) belonging to Kubera, the god of wealth. In some tantric practice each nidhi is personified and has a guardian-spirit that may receive worship; beyond this core role their nature and characteristics are poorly explained in surviving sources.
Night Elf (Kaldorei)
A fictional, long-lived, forest-dwelling humanoid people (called the Kaldorei, lit. 'Children of the stars') from Blizzard Entertainment's Warcraft setting, characterized by moon worship (Elune), druidic tradition, and a cultural emphasis on living in harmony with nature. Introduced as a playable race in Warcraft III and later World of Warcraft, they function as a full society rather than a single supernatural entity.
Night Hag
A cross-cultural folkloric figure invoked to explain the experience now called sleep paralysis: an unseen nightly visitor said to sit upon or press down on sleepers, causing immobility, a sensation of weight on the chest, terror, and frightening dreams. The figure occupies different cultural forms (mare, karabasan, kana tevoro, Mokthi/Makthi, etc.) but functions as a common explanatory 'slot' linking the sleeping body to spirits, jinn, or the recently dead.
Night raven
A class of nocturnal raven-shaped folkloric presences from central and northern Europe variously described as giant raven-like birds, skeletal flying revenants, or revenant souls manifesting in bird form; associated with death, unquiet burials, and used in cautionary tales about children at night.
