No mythic or narrative origin for Pruflas is provided in the supplied sources. The name appears as an entry in demonological and grimoire-related lists reproduced by later compilations and popular sites; modern references associate the entry with the bureaucratic cataloguing practice of early modern European grimoires rather than with an origin tale within vernacular folklore.
The supplied materials do not include a consistent textual description of Pruflas's physical form. A modern blog post reproduces or discusses a sigil attributed to Pruflas, but no anatomical or visionary description is given in the excerpts provided.
Available sources record only rank and command statistics for Pruflas: modern summaries variously call Pruflas a 'king,' 'high prince,' or 'grand duke' and attribute command of either 22 or 26 legions. The excerpts do not specify particular faculties, services promised to conjurers, or behavioral tendencies toward humans; such functional details are absent from the provided material.
Alloces
Alloces (also spelled Allocer, Alocer, Allogor, Algor) is a named ducal spirit in post-medieval Western grimoire tradition, listed among the spirits of the Goetia (the Lesser Key of Solomon) and attested in variant form in the Liber Officiorum Spirituum. He is presented as an evocable intelligence who teaches sciences, commands legions of spirits, and appears with differing visual descriptions across sources.
Pronoia
Pronoia is primarily a Byzantine administrative institution (Greek: πρόνοια) by which the emperor temporarily granted streams of fiscal income or rights to individuals or institutions. In modern usage the term is sometimes repurposed in creative and new-age contexts to denote a providential mindset or manifestation practice, but the sources contain no account of Pronoia as a supernatural being.
Proteus
Proteus is an ancient Greek sea-associated divine figure—an 'Old Man of the Sea'—noted for prophetic knowledge and the ability to assume many forms. He is typically portrayed as a subordinate sea-deity (often described as a son of Poseidon) who resists disclosure of hidden truths unless compelled by capture.
Prothoenor
Prothoenor (Ancient Greek Προθοήνωρ) is a mortal Boeotian leader in the Homeric Trojan War tradition, named in the Catalogue of Ships and recorded in the Iliad as being wounded and slain by the Trojan warrior Polydamas. Later mythographic summaries preserve variant genealogies and local associations with Thespiae in Boeotia.
Prothous
Prothous is a personal name borne by several distinct mortal figures in Greek mythic narrative traditions — including an Arcadian prince (one of Lycaon's sons), a Calydonian hunter, various warriors in the Theban and Trojan cycles (notably a commander of the Magnetes who led forty ships to Troy), and one of the suitors of Penelope. The bearers are ordinary heroic-age mortals whose actions are recorded in different episodic contexts rather than a single supernatural entity.
Proto-Frigg-Freyja Entity (Hypothetical)
A hypothetical entity proposed to be the common origin of Old Norse goddesses Frigg and Freyja, based on similarities between them. (Note: 1. Power tier should be Ancient (deity-level) rather than Primordial (cosmic), as the entity is hypothetical and not explicitly stated to have cosmic powers. 2. The appearance section is missing entir)
Protogeneia
Protogeneia (Ancient Greek: Πρωτογένεια, 'the firstborn') is a name borne by several mythic women in Greek genealogical tradition. Rather than a single supernatural being, the name functions as an etiological marker used in local foundation myths to link Zeus, post‑deluge human stock, and the eponymous ancestors or ruling houses of regions such as Elis, Aetolia, Opus/Locrian lines, and Attica.
Prymno (Πρυμνώ)
Prymno is one of the Oceanids in Greek myth, a daughter of the Titans Oceanus and Tethys. Her name is etymologically linked to the lowermost part of things and to downward-flowing water, and sources gloss her name with senses such as "undermost, root" and a "cascade which falls down over a great height." She is attested only in name-lists of the Oceanids and has no surviving independent myths or rituals in the supplied material.
Psoglav
Psoglav (Serbian Cyrillic: Псоглав; literally 'doghead') is a demonic monstrous figure in Balkan popular belief attested in parts of Bosnia and Montenegro and in numerous legends on the Istrian peninsula of Croatia. Described as a corpse-eating, grave-desecrating being that lives in caves or a sunless dark land, it is linguistically attested in regional variants such as Croatian psoglavac and Slovene psoglavec.
Ptah
Ptah is the principal Memphite deity of ancient Egypt, venerated as a creator god and patron of craftsmen and architects. He conceives the world 'in the design of his heart' and realizes it by speech, serves as master of ceremonies and justice in state cult, and is central to funerary and royal ritual in Memphis.
Ptah-Patek
Ptah‑Patek (Greek Pataikos) is a protective dwarf figure in late ancient Egyptian practice, represented primarily as small faience amulets and household figurines that safeguard wearers from danger and assist in childbirth. From the Late Period onward the figure is syncretic with Bes, Taweret, and aspects of Ptah and Horus/Harpocrates in popular iconography and use.
Ptah‑Sokar‑Osiris
Ptah‑Sokar‑Osiris is a syncretic funerary deity of ancient Egyptian religion, combining aspects of Ptah (Memphite creator/craftsman), Sokar (a Memphite necropolis hawk/falcon god), and Osiris (the pan‑Egyptian god of death and resurrection). The compound appears on offering formulas, statuary, papyrus containers, and temple reliefs used in mortuary and necropolis contexts, especially associated with Memphis and the Memphite necropolis, attested in material from the Late Period through the Ptolemaic era.
