Yanantin is a fundamental concept in Andean thought, emphasizing balance and harmony between opposing forces. It reflects the indigenous worldview's emphasis on equilibrium between yin and yang-like dualisms.
There is no physical description of Yanantin as it is a philosophical concept rather than an entity with a tangible form.
Yanantin does not possess abilities in the classical sense, but serves as a guiding principle for understanding interconnectedness and bringing seemingly conflicting opposites into harmony.

Yamawaro
A class of mountain-dwelling yōkai reported in western Japan (especially Kyūshū) that appear as childlike humanoids. They function as explanatory agents for strange mountain phenomena, act as tricksters who harass livestock or intrude on houses and baths, and sometimes help woodcutters in return for exacting food or drink offerings. Many local traditions identify them as kappa that seasonally migrate between rivers and mountains.
Yamunā
Yamunā is both the major North Indian river (a principal tributary of the Ganges) and its personified Hindu goddess. She appears in scripture and devotional literature (early as Yami, later as Kalindi), is venerated on ghats and at pilgrimage sites such as the Triveni Sangam, and figures in Vaishnava accounts linking her to Krishna.
Yaoguai
Yaoguai is a broad, catch‑all category of uncanny supernatural beings in Chinese folklore and mythology, defined by possession of supernatural powers and by being weird, strange, or unnatural. They are associated with transformation and enchantment and are often reported to dwell on the margins of human settlement where they cause mischief, unexplainable phenomena, and sometimes harm.
Yatagarasu
Yatagarasu (八咫烏) is a divine crow in Japanese myth and Shinto practice that functions as a heavenly messenger and guide, most famously directing the legendary Emperor Jimmu's eastern expedition.
