Shagambi (associated with Kamadans)
Kubazan (associated with Froghemoths)
Moa
Unkh
I'jin
Wongo
Also Ubtao is not back, as such he is not popular, although people still revered dinosaurs as, sacred Ubtao's childern, but and most people have taken up none Chultan Faerunian deities like Waunkeen, Sune, Savras, Gond, and Tymora.
The Ring of Winter is sentient.

Shagambi is a kamadan
Unkh is a flail snail
Wongo is a su-monster
Some of those animals are in Volo's Guide to Monsters, and some are new introductions in the adventure.
Grung... should have predicted that... the newest frog folk.
Eblis???? guessing new
Su-monster - never would have guessed it
jaculi - ahhhh, they're making reference to Kaa from jungle book
zorbo - wow, now I don't think I've ever actually seen these used in anything even though they were in 1st edition.

EDIT:
All the trickster gods are in the handouts they post for download in the official website:

I'm assuming he is back or returning. I am also assuming that Ubtao is Qotal, and the reason he left was he went with Maztica to Abeir.
Ah, and looking at that website...
Shagambi may be a displacer beast... but also looks like a kamadan
NangNang - probably a firenewt but could be a bullywug
Kubazan - probably froghemoth
Moa - some kind of snake, maybe a naga
Unkh - flail snail obviously
Wongo - some kind of monkey
Papazotol - a crane
I'jin - a rabbit, maybe an al-miraj
Obo'Laka - not sure here... clawed, looks kinda bearish... could be a sloth even... could be a big koala for all I know. |

Yeah, they are primal spirits. That's a kind of supernatural beings tied to the life force of the natural world introduced in 4th-edition. Like animist spirits, but self-aware, unlike the animist force introduced in 3e.
Kinda cool they didn't forget the concept, though. |

According to the adventure those nine aren't actually deities. They're just some spirits who tricked the mortals into worshipping them in Ubtao's stead. They weren't even powerful enough to grant enough "miracles" to all their followers, so they distracted them to avoid having them notice. |

Nope, Omu is something totally new for 5e, according to this video. |
| sleyvas |
Posted - 02 Sep 2017 : 11:51:56
So, is there any canon lore existing on these Omuan people who had these trickster gods? |

If you are on a PC, you can view any webpage bigger by hitting 'ctrl' & '+' (and '-' makes it smaller).
However, I just tried that (it got smaller LOL), and for that type of webpage (embedded pic), you have to go an extra step - You have to right click, and hit "open image in new tab", and then the 'ctrl' & '+' will work (it works beautifully - I can read the whole thing easily now). And that's because, technically, the image isn't 'on' the page, just linked to it. |

This is my source.
Is there some way to see this bigger? I'd like to read the part about Ubtao.
The attachments are really big, but there is nothing new about Ubtao. Only that he grew angry with the people of Omu, and abandoned them, and because of that they turned to the Trickster Gods. And that he somewhat lost popularity and now other gods are revered in Chult...

It looks like there is a sourcebook that goes with it, too. I don't usually buy adventure modules because I don't game, but if the sourcebooks contains lore, I might. |

I get Ubtao becoming less popular, but was he ever gone? I thought he was just revealed to be a primordial?
To me, it seems that they meant to say that he has lost ground to the mainstream Faerunian deities, not that he is dead. |
