Further in the Grimoire

Hantu Bongkok

A bloodthirsty ghost or evil spirit from pre-colonial-era Indonesian folklore in Palembang, South Sumatra. (Note: * Summary: Accuracy confirmed, but it's worth noting that a brief mention of its bloodthirsty nature could be added. * Power tier: Should be "Ancient" since Hantu Bongkok is described as an evil spiri)

Kuyang

A Southeast Asian nocturnal female spirit motif, described as a floating disembodied woman's head with internal organs trailing beneath the neck; attested in English-language summaries and contemporary creative and tourism writings that reference the broader Krasue motif.

Malin Kundang

A figure from an Indonesian folktale, transformed into stone as a result of his disobedience and retribution. He represents the consequences of one's actions, emphasizing filial piety and obedience. (Note: 1. Power tier should be assigned based on the entity's abilities; since it doesn't have any mentioned abilities, this might not be applicable. 2. Appearance should be added to describe Malin Kundang's)

Nyi Roro Kidul (Queen of the Southern Sea)

Nyi Roro Kidul is a supernatural female figure in Sundanese and Javanese tradition identified as the Queen of the Southern Sea off the coast of Java. She functions as a regionally significant sea sovereign connected in local narratives and place‑based traditions (for example Pelabuhan Ratu) and appears in contemporary poetic and popular media.

Orang Pendek

Orang Pendek is a figure from Sumatran tradition and modern cryptozoology described either as a short, ground-dwelling bipedal primate inhabiting remote forests of Sumatra or, in some indigenous accounts, as a supernatural 'short ghost' (Hantu Pendek) used in oral lore and cautionary tales.

Stymphalian birds

A swarm of dangerous, man‑eating birds of Greek myth associated with the marsh/lake of Stymphalia in Arcadia. They ravage crops and people, are said to have beaks of bronze or exceptionally powerful beaks and sharp metallic feathers that can be launched as darts, and are best known from Heracles’ sixth labour in which Athena provides a rattle to flush them and Heracles shoots many down.

Stymphalus (son of Elatus)

Stymphalus (Greek: Στύμφαλος) is a mythic, eponymous founder and heroic-age ancestor in Arcadian local tradition. In surviving sources he is presented as a son of Elatus (sometimes by Laodice), a grandson of Arcas, and the name-giver of a spring, a lake/region, and a city in Arcadia; he is treated as a mortal genealogical figure rather than a supernatural creature in the cited material.

Styx

In Greek myth Styx is both a divine river-goddess and the underworld river she embodies; her waters form an ontological and ritual boundary of Hades and serve as the medium for the most solemn divine oaths, with specified punitive consequences for perjury.

Su İyesi

Su İyesi is a Turkic water spirit — a localized guardian (iye) of bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, ponds and springs. It appears in male and female personifications (Su Ana, Su Ata) and is associated with both beneficent functions (bringing rain) and dangerous actions (drownings, floods, wrecks) when offended.

Suangi

In the belief systems of western Papua (Indonesia) a suangi is an accused human male alleged to practice harmful sorcery by physically and spiritually preying on victims — reportedly eating blood and internal organs and devouring the victim's soul. Accusation functions as a local explanatory category for mysterious illness and death, and punitive communal responses are reported in some accounts.

Succubus (Jewish Tradition)

Female demon that seduces male humans through dreams, potentially leading to a hybrid child and the man's decline. (Note: 1. Power tier should be Ancient, not Primordial (Primordial powers are cosmic, while Ancient powers are deity-level). 2. No information on physical appearance is missing because it's simply not mentio)

Suen

Suen (also vocalized Sin or Nanna) is the Mesopotamian lunar deity who personifies the moon, widely worshipped in the Mesopotamian pantheon and associated with the lunar month, pastoral life, and in some texts with adjudication of the dead.
