The Toyol (Tuyul in Javanese) is a spirit familiar created from a stillborn or aborted fetus through black magic performed by a dukun (shaman/sorcerer). The practitioner raises the creature as a magical servant, feeding it with blood from their fingertips. The toyol is typically used to steal money and goods from neighbors, which it can do invisibly. Ownership is a moral and social transgression — the toyol must be passed on at the owner's death or it will destroy the owner's family.
A small, child-like creature with a large hairless head, bulging eyes, green or grey skin, and tiny limbs. It moves like a toddler. It has a gnome-like appearance, often described as looking like a cross between an infant and an old man.
Could enter locked homes and steal money or goods invisibly. Extremely difficult to detect during theft. Required regular blood feeding from its master. Could attack people who disturbed it. Passed on at death — the new owner inherited both the familiar and any karmic consequences.

Toxeus (Τοξεύς)
Toxeus (Ancient Greek Τοξεύς, lit. 'bowman') is a personal name borne by multiple human figures in Greek myth — chiefly princely/hunter figures tied to the Calydonian hunt and to Oechalian royal genealogies — and later reused as a modern taxonomic and toponymic label. In the classical material assembled in the provided sources, Toxeus denotes mortal mythic humans (princes, hunters, an inventor attestation) rather than a recurring supernatural creature.
Trailokyavijaya
Buddhist wrathful deity and manifestation of the bodhisattva Vajrapāṇi, associated with fierce power and protection.

Given his association with Vajrapāṇi and being a Wisdom King, it would be more accurate to categorize him as Ancien)
Trambelus
Trambelus (Greek: Τράμβηλος) is a mortal heroic figure in Greek mythic tradition, described as a son of the Achaean hero Telamon and a local ruler or notable associated with Lesbos, Miletus, or the Leleges.
