Ababil (mythology) — The entry states 'most traditionists state that Muhammad was born 50 days after this event', but the correct traditional view is that the Year of the Elephant occurred approximately 50 days before Muhammad's birth, not after.
Ababil (mythology) — The DID YOU KNOW section says the surah Al-Fīl is 'written in interrogative form', but only the first verse is a rhetorical question; the rest are declarative, so this is a factual mischaracterization.
Caladrius — The claim that the caladrius appears in a Saturday Night Live sketch titled 'Theodoric of York, Medieval Barber' is false; that sketch does not include the caladrius.
Chickcharney — The chickcharney is usually said to have three toes in total, not three on each foot.
Chickcharney — The chickcharney is not described as having a long grasping tail in standard folklore.
Cinnamon bird — Herodotus wrote that the cinnamon bird inhabited Arabia, the only country known to produce cinnamon at the time. This is incorrect: Herodotus stated that Arabia was the only known source of cinnamon, not that the bird inhabited Arabia as the only country known
Cinnamon bird — Pliny the Elder discredited Herodotus's account, claiming the tales were invented by natives to raise cinnamon prices. This is inaccurate: Pliny the Elder did not specifically discredit Herodotus's account; he dismissed the stories of the cinnamon bird as fabl
Eagle Spirit — The smallest species of eagle is not the Great Nicobar serpent eagle; the smallest true eagle is generally considered to be the little eagle or booted eagle, not the Great Nicobar serpent eagle.
Eagle Spirit — The claim that 'most eagles do not look back over their shoulders before striking prey, unlike other birds of prey' is not a widely established or accurate fact in ornithology.
Elwetritsch — The earliest written mention is claimed to be 1847 in Luckenbach, Texas, but the creature is a German folkloric figure; the specific claim of an 'Elfendritschenwolpertinger' in Texas in 1847 is not supported by established folklore canon.
Elwetritsch — The claim that the Elwedritsche hunt derives from the 'Trotterkopf' spell is not a widely recognized or documented historical fact in folklore studies.
The Falcon Pipiristi — The tale type is listed as ATU 432, but the correct type for 'Finist Bright Falcon' is ATU 432A or a subtype of 432, not simply ATU 432.
The Falcon Pipiristi — The informant is given as P. G. Doronim, but the standard source lists the informant as P. G. Doronin (with an 'n' not 'm').
Gamayun — The claim that the Gamayun's appearance can cause deadly elements is not a standard part of established canon and appears to be an invented or exaggerated detail.
