'''Gyalpo''' (Tib. རྒྱལ་པོ་, [[Wyl.]] ''rgyal po'') literally means 'king'. 

Gyalpo is also the name for a certain type of 'arrogant king-like spirit', who are often associated with a particular area or even a particular family; they may function as protectors, or they may be harmful. Their leader is the great protector [[Pehar]]. They can be clairvoyant, and are sometimes consulted by oracles, including the most important of Tibetan oracles, the [[Nechung Oracle]], who is possessed by Pehar himself when consulting him. [[Patrul Rinpoche]] categorizes these spirits in the [[preta]] class of [[sentient beings]].
