Kobold · salience 0.8
“Kobolds are often associated with specific locations within a home or property, such as the hearth, the cellar, or even mines and ships.”
Aitvaras
“Once acquired, an Aitvaras is notoriously difficult to be rid of, and in some tellings the only sure way to expel it is to burn down the barn or building it has taken as its home, accepting the loss of the structure to end the arrangement.”
Nat
“households and communities maintain coconut offerings and small shrines to their household nat (Eindwin Nat, "the nat within the house" — Min Mahagiri himself in his domestic aspect, as chief of household nats) and to a given nat's tutelary tree or site”
Nisse
“He was believed to live on a single farmstead, most often in the barn, hayloft, or under the floorboards, and to attach himself to that specific property rather than to the family that occupied it, watching over the land and livestock across generations of owners.”
