Nkunzi
The supplied sources do not document a folkloric supernatural entity named 'Nkunzi.' The term appears in the provided material as a personal name, a toponym (a mountain in South Africa), and as the given name of an author who wrote about sangoma practice, but no ethnographic descriptions, origin story, appearance, abilities, rituals, or protective measures for a spirit called Nkunzi are present in the provided items.
Noah
Noah is the tenth antediluvian patriarch in Abrahamic traditions who, at God's command, builds an ark to preserve his family and representatives of land animals from a divinely sent Flood. After the waters recede he offers burnt offerings, receives a covenant from God (with the rainbow as its pledge), and becomes the progenitor of post‑diluvian humanity.
Nobusuma (野衾)
A yōkai of Edo-period Japanese folklore associated in sources with nocturnal gliding mammals (bats or flying squirrels). Traditions describe it as a small winged beast that can latch onto travelers or sleepers—covering the face or extinguishing torches—and in some accounts an aging form precedes a still more dangerous being called yamachichi.
Nocnitsa
A Slavic night spirit or 'night hag' that torments sleepers—especially children—by visiting at night, producing nightmares or sensations of pressure on the chest, and in some accounts drawing life energy from victims.
Noldor
The Noldor are a kindred (clan) of Elves in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium, one of the three High Elf clans who migrated to Valinor and later returned to Middle-earth. Renowned for their skill in craft, lore and warfare, their history — including the Oath of Fëanor and the Flight of the Noldor — is central to the events of The Silmarillion.
Nomion
Nomion is not attested in the provided sources as a coherent supernatural being or folkloric class. The term appears primarily as a taxonomic epithet in lepidoptery and as a modern proper name in popular culture; a single Wikidata label links the name to a supposed ruler in Caria but this is uncited in the supplied materials.
Nonacris
Nonacris (Ancient Greek Νώνακρις) appears in classical sources as a multi-faceted name: an Arcadian town and its springs, a mythic woman associated with that place (wife of King Lycaon in some accounts), and in some sources identified as the naiad of the town's springs. Ancient writers and modern summaries treat the personal and place identities as interwoven rather than wholly separate.
Nootaikok
In Inuit tradition Nootaikok is a spirit bound to large ice masses—described as presiding over and living inside icebergs and glaciers—and is attested as one who, alongside Agloolik, led hunters to seals.
Noppera-bō
A faceless yōkai from Japanese folklore described as an otherwise humanlike figure whose face is smooth and featureless; primarily known in modern sources and popular culture as an uncanny, fear-inducing apparition.
Norrœna Society
A publishing house that focused on Norse literature and culture, established in 1892. (Note: - Power tier: Remove (Primordial=cosmic) since the Norrœna Society was a publishing house, not a supernatural entity. - Abilities: Add "Publication of rare and expensive reprints" as an ability, suppo)
Norse Mythological Beings
Collection of supernatural entities from Norse mythology, including gods, goddesses, and other beings. (Note: 1.

Norse Mythological Entities
A diverse range of beings, objects, and locations integral to the Norse cosmology, including gods, goddesses, giants, dwarves, and magical items. (Note: * Power tier: Change to "Ancient" is plausible given the described abilities, but it could be argued that some entities (gods) are even more powerful. Consider reevaluation. * Sensory cues: While ethe)
