Supernatural Creatures Related To Witches?
I am writing a book about witches, but I would like to include more (humanoid) supernatural creatures. Also, I want to stay away from the clichés (werewolves, vampires, fairies ect.) as I know witches are rather overused as it is. Anyone have any interesting ideas?

Banshees have always been interesting to me, but they're strictly Irish/Gaelic lore. Fallen, earth-bound angels are always popular, the Christians eat that stuff up. How about human spirits forcefully removed and then put into stone or iron humanoid statues? Kind of like primitive robots. That could be worth thinking about.

Some witches' cats are just as smart as humans and some cats even transform
into humanoids. Some witches even have Dobermans and Rottweilers (guard dogs)
That can turn into people.
Voodoo witches often use obedient zombies for odd jobs.
I think just about ANYTHING in mythology can be the friend of a witch.
From "Harry Potter" to "Spirited Away" Fantasy creatures flock to witches like pop stars.

You could go with goblins or elves but put a twist on it. Make them exponentially intelligent and beautiful, but give them some limiting factors (like none of them are over 5'2', etc). Or you could use demigods and/or gods (Greek and Roman gods often took on the fleshy look of mortals and came to earth to participate in daily human life. Most were heavy drinkers or complete perverts -cough- Zeus -cough- who impregnated countless mortal women. Thus "demigods").
Hope I could help.

In Nepal a goblin like or exact goblin I don't know . . . Are the creatures roaming freely and could be controlled by magic spells . . Witches or magicians/tantrics
When having meal you need to offer them food before anyone . . .
They are invisible and steals prosperity of neighbors for its owner . . .
One of a magician like guy from our village is rich all of sudden within a year , and rumors is that he and other spiritual tantrics caught that creature and sold it to Americans . . .

D&D is a good source and they have pics and histories/backrounds that you can easily fit into your story.
