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 the Turkic mythology, Kormoses are devilish entities, living in the underworld. Since a soul can turn into a Kormos after death, they are often associated with ancestral spirits.[1] Other names used for them are Alban, Chahik, Ozor, and more.[2]
Angelic Kormoses, who help and protect humans are under Ülgen's command. Demonic Kormoses [also called "Sokor Körmös" (blind angel)],[3][circular reference] 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.[4]
Souls turned into Demonic Kormoses after death can escape the torment and ascend to Uçmag if the good in their core overweighs their evil.[5]
