How would you construct them?
For example, Belias is probably a fire giant (with something added one) and Zalera is a classic Grim-Reaper-y creature. Famfrit might be an intelligent/awakened iron golem with a weaponized Decanter of Endless Water.
Most of them have an elemental association (fire, ice, lightning, earth, water, light, dark, etc.) but on the whole they don't seem to correspond to folklore or DnD monsters, though, and I'm curious if anyone has thought about this.
Fluffwise they were (in the game) wannabe-gods who in time past tried to usurp the gods and failed.
