Khas-uu

animal-spirit · Mongolia · Central Asia

Not independently attested in folklore literature. No Mongolian source documents a tiger spirit called 'khas-uu', and tigers are not native to the Khentii or Khangai ranges. 'Khas' in Mongolian tradition refers to the swastika-like eternal symbol (has tamga), not an animal. The entry is a generic animal-guardian fabrication.
