I wanted to ask about and compose a big list of non-human creatures/beast that are noted in folklore and actually exist as a spirit you can adopt. So which ones are real and which ones you could possibly make via a servitor or construct.
Any help is appreciated in terms of verifying which creatures are real or not , i know some exist ( from looking on creepyhollows or paganshoponline) already but the rest i'm not sure of. Also this list does include youkai/yokai because i want to verify them too. Any youkai/yokai or non-human creatures not in the list or ref links are alright to verify as well.
I will paste my references below....

Wow. This is a tough one for me. I suppose if you want to cut through this Gordian knot the solution could be if a conjurer you respect and trust says it is a spirit that can be conjured then it probably is.
I imagine a servitor can be based on anything, obviously also including spirits that can be conjured.
There's another level on which you can work with some of those creatures as energy archetypes, which is just one step away from astral contact or having them conjured. (See DJ Conway's Magical, Mystical Creatures (1996, 2001), Llewellyn books.) Her list is not a complete as yours.
