Emblematic Figures (Mythical Creatures)

Figures that act as emblems of a religious or occult idea rather than as characters in a story, such as Baphomet and the Oak King and Holly King of modern pagan seasonal myth. An entry belongs here when its article presents a creature mainly as a symbol. The group page lists related creatures together so that a reader can compare how one kind of being appears across cultures and stories. Entries are placed by what their own article says, so each one sits in the narrowest group that its source supports, and the group page lists it beside the other members.
