This list of mythical creatures that begin with this letter and I am constantly gathering information from each continent, and is continually being updated.
Nariphon (Thai)
The Nariphon, also known as Makkaliphon, is a tree in Buddhist mythology which bears fruit in the shape of young female creatures. The maidens grow attached by their head from the tree branches. This tree grows at the Himaphan, a mythical forest where the female fruits are enjoyed by the Gandharvas who cut the fruits and take them away.
Grown and tended to by Monks, the legends seems to have bee aimed at their Initiates to keep them pure of ''heart and mind''. Other Myths have The Nariphon ''Fruit'' (after becoming ripe), actually becoming alive as Females. Identical in every way, save one, they have no bones. They are allowed to live among Men for 7 days, after which they die.
