This list of mythical creatures that begin with this letter and I am constantly gathering information from each continent, and is continually being updated.
Khyah (Nepalese)
Khyah is a mythical humanoid creature in Newari folklore. It is depicted as a fat, hairy and short ape-like creature.
Encountering a Khyah can make one ill. Khyahs are said to tickle their victims to death. In Newar culture, Khyahs attend to Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, and pictures of the deity show them guarding overflowing bags of coins.
Household Khyahs usually dwell in the attic and dark storerooms. They are said to fear electric lighting. The antithesis of the Khyah is the Kawancha, a skeleton. Khyahs and Kawanchas appear as supporting characters in sacred dance dramas of the Newars. Images of Khyahs and Kawanchas are also placed at temples as guardians of the shrine.
