Kalanoro · salience 0.85

“Some tellings hold that a captured Kalanoro can be bound into service or kept as a kind of familiar, but that it will exploit any carelessness or broken promise to escape back into the wilderness.”

Fenodyree · salience 0.8

“The origin story told of him is that he was once one of the fair folk, expelled from fairyland — in some tellings for loving a mortal woman, in others for missing the fairy host's obligatory gathering — and condemned to labor as a solitary farmhand as punishment.”

Alberich · salience 0.7

“In the Nibelungenlied, Alberich is overcome by Siegfried, who wins both the invisibility cloak and mastery of the hoard from him by force, after which Alberich is bound to serve the new possessor of the treasure rather than being destroyed outright.”

Marid

“Their defining trait of character is pride: a Marid resents captivity and submission, and where a story requires a jinni to be bound into servitude by a ring, lamp, or bottle, it is the Marid whose enslavement is treated as the greatest feat, since compelling one against its will is said to require rare and exacting magic.”
