Elk Nature-Spirit (Burmese)

nature-spirit · United States · North America

Not attested in North American folklore. This entry blends a Burmese elk nature-spirit tradition (a bull elk spirit with a crescent-moon chest patch, guardian of herds, summonable by shamans) with a United States setting, a mismatch flagged by its own source. No USA tribe records this being; the closest North American analogues are Native American elk and deer guardian spirits.
