ANHANGA •
Anhangá – A spirit that often protects animals (especially the females and young ones) and tends to appear as a white deer with red eyes. Often mistaken for Anhanguera due to the words being similar, however, the Anhinga is not considered a devil, though it was feared. One legend involves an indigenous person who tortured a young fawn so the screams would attract the mother. When she came near, he killed her just to realize that the Anhanga had used an illusion and he had just killed his own mother.

ADGILIS DEDA •
ადგილის დედა
Literally, the "mother of locality" or "place-mother" — is a deity in the pre-Christian Georgian pantheon, especially revered by the mountaineers of northeast Georgia, such as the Khevsurs, as a protective spirit of a place (genius loci) and also as a deity of fertility of humans and livestock alike.
The ancient Georgians believed that each place — mountain, hill, ravine — had a "mother" which they called the "place-mother". She was portrayed as a beautiful lady with silver jewelry who patronized not only the location but also the foreigners who travelled in this area. With the advent of Christianity, this cult became closely associated with that of the Virgin Mary (Mother of God). They share some common features of rituals and Adgilis Ghvtismshobeli ("Mother of God of the Place") is still worshipped as a patroness of the community among the Georgian highlanders.

ADI-MAILAGU •
Fijian Sky Goddess
Goddess of the Sky
She came down to Earth in the guise of a grey rat, but had the ability to change into a beautiful woman or a hag with a tongue a yard long. If she visited a man at night in her beauty mode he would be sure to die. What a tease.
She also ran an oracle service for priests, offering hot tips for future success in exchange for a little sacrifice. But word got out that she spent most of her time in a tree as a grey rodent. Someone must have ratted on her.
One night, a person or persons unknown cut down the tree. She must have realized she had outstayed her welcome, as she was never seen again.
