Daimons

The ancient Greek daimons were differentiated from gods, who were human-form, with human personalities, and had their own myths and cults.  Daimons were usually vaguer, unseen, or appearing as weird creatures, not persons, and not worshiped.  They may have prevailed before the gods of civilization came along.  Yahweh seems to have been more a daimon than a god like Baal, say, but a daimon who became eventually the God, a God who was not like a Greek god, or other polytheistic gods of the ancient world.  A daimon is of the Unconscious, the Unknown-- unknowable, not a person, incomprehensible, often appearing in multiple forms, or as animals or chimaeras, or strange natural phenomena, and were without their own myths and cults.

The Drygand is, like archaic Yahweh, more of a daimon than a god, but unlike him, a daimon who became the Daimon.
