Kormos
{
Kormos or Kormoz (Tuvan: кормос; Turkish: Körmöz or Körmös) are spirits in Turkic mythology and can also refer to ghosts or demons. "Kormos" means "does not see" or "blind" in Turkic languages. The word can also mean "mentally ill".
In Turkic mythology, Kormoses are devilish entities who live in Tamag, the underworld. Since a soul can turn into a Kormos after death, they are often associated with ancestral spirits. Other names used for them are Alban, Chahik, Ozor, and more.
Angelic Kormoses, who help and protect humans are under Ülgen's command. Demonic Kormoses [also called "Sokor Körmös" (blind angel)], who commonly dwell in the underworld and harm humans, are controlled by Erlik. Remaining Kormoses are those who are not particularly good or evil and roam the Earth while suffering in a pathetic state. The idea of Körmös as a "blind angel" might have been influenced by the Islamic concepts of fallen angels.
Souls turned into Demonic Kormoses after death can escape the torment and ascend to Uçmag if the good in their core overweighs their evil.
