Azeban is a lower-level trickster spirit in Abenaki mythology. The traditional homeland of the Abenaki is
Wobanakik (Place of the Dawn), what is now called northern New England and southern Quebec. Azeban (also
spelled Azban, Asban or Azaban) is a raccoon, the Abenaki trickster figure. Pronounced ah-zuh-bahn. Azeban
does many foolish and/or mischievous things in Abenaki folktales, but unlike animal tricksters in some other
tribes, is not dangerous or malevolent.
Insectivores
Lavellan A Lavellan, làbh-allan, la-mhalan or la-bhallan etc. is a mythological creature from northern Scotland.It

or water vole in Scottish Gaelic. It was however, reportedly larger than a rat, very noxious, and lived in deep
pools in rivers.Its poisonous abilities were legendary, and it was said to be able to injure cattle over a hundred
feet away.
