river spirit
Stream's guardian entity
A river spirit is a supernatural being believed to inhabit or personify a river.
Found across world mythologies, river spirits may be benevolent guardians, dangerous entities that drown swimmers, or gods requiring appeasement.
They embody the river's power and personality—its moods, floods, and life-giving waters.
The villagers left offerings to the river spirit before the fishing season.
