Since you are asking a question whose answer you already know-my advice is do not worship animals as they do not do good deeds or preach wisdom of redemption. Get away from the evil one who just wants your destruction.

The names indicated by you mostly related to the deities worshipped in the State of Tamilnadu in India. These names appear to be village deities. In southern parts of India, particularly in villages they worship certain deities who protect their village from all sorts of natural and human calamities. They play the role of security guards and ensure no evil force enters the village and causes harm to the villagers.One can find them mostly in and around Madurai District. We may not find any reference to these deities in any of the epics. In Ramayana, when Hanuman crossed the sea and landed up at Lanka, one lady by name Lankhini protector of the fort prevents him from entering the fort. Hanuman conquers her and then enters the fort. These deities are just like her.
