Using a dialect of Gaulish, Nouiogalaticos, we can construct names for beings. Thus giving us a (New) Gaulish context with which to engage with the many beings that aren’t traditionally listed amongst the Dêuoi, though there is a degree of overlap with otherwise known ones. An attempt here will be made to make a humble list of spirits, creatures, and entities that one may find. Some are big, some small that could be thought to coexist along with the Dêuoi, worshipped beings. Beings to be either noticed, exchanged with, or worshipped outright. Perhaps to be placated or avoided.
It is important to note that the category below is not set, as many of these beings overlap one another and are not bound by our understanding. The category only serves to help us to navigate.
