Yeaaaaaaaaahh...I think you're a bit late for that bus...

 

@Shui: Which Barsoom book? Err, if you know; because I'm quite fond of those books, and either I haven't reached that part of maybe I've forgotten? :P

Tulpa: Adryan Form: Anthro wolf-ish Stage: *sighs loudly*

Age: Looks 17, is actually 1 1/2

SCP-1830

Kind of like a tulpa, except visible to bystanders.

 

This might be reaching, but Clifford Simak's Way Station has the protagonist use some kind of alien magic to create visible, audible, very realistic, yet incorporeal companions for himself.

They eventually leave him tearfully, and, in the ending, he understands that it's foolish to cling to what isn't real.

The relationship between the protagonists and the "ghosts" is very, very much like that between a host and a tulpa.

The only difference is that he can affect other people.

 

Well, technically, that defines the original concept of the Tibetan tulpa (as opposed to an adult imaginary companion).

Whoops. Didn't notice your post until today. It's Thuvia, Maid of Mars.

Have I mentioned The Maxx yet? No? Because it's absolutely the best, most compelling rendition of an intensive paracosm and 'tulpa' manifestation I've ever encountered. How could I let this slip my mind?!

 

You can watch it here.

 

Another graphic novel/comic addition: Britten and Brülightly (Stewart Brülightly is the 'tulpa'.)

I agree with Scott Z, Supernatural "s1e17 hell house" funny enough I LOVE SUpernatural and have watched the seasons over and over, obviously heard the term tulpa, and disregarded it as another supernatural episode, (although ALL of Supernatural' creatures, beings, etc are base on "real" lore) tulpa is portrayed quite differently in supernatural, but was described a thought form none the less, anyway, its only like after 4 years of watching the show over and over and a couple of weeks ago i come across this site, and i was like, yhh, i understand now (although like it said in reality its psychological and not physical) so moral of the story, rock on Supernatural and rock on Tulpa

Tulpa - Yukai Shi (Yuka) しゆかい (ゆか)

Form - Shapeshifter

Working on viualization and vocalization
