In some runosongs, trees were planted by Sämpsä Pellervoinen. In some others, they were planted by Yahweh, Jesus, etc Christian figures, including by different figures from the Underworld, some who could be categorized as demons. Tuuletar, sometimes only referred to as tuuli kylmä "cold wind", is said to have lulled trees. Some illnesses could've also been brought by the wind, especially if it blew from the north. Tuuletar's role then is clearly here in reference to a cold wind which comes from the north, from the Underworld. A poetic personification of the wind, then. As Christianity got heavily mixed with this stuff, the luller is sometimes straight up called the Holy Spirit.
In one instance, a nightmare is called a illegitimate son of Väinämöinen, who was lulled by Tuuliainen.
Lempo became a general term for a demon due to Christianization, just like "hiisi". The word is connected to fire, and this creature can fly. According to some accounts, the positive lempi (power of attraction) in a person turned into evil Lempo if they committed adultery. It is possible that this name Lempo is connected to Lemmes/Lemmetär, a fiery deity from the Underworld. It is also possible that these two were not originally the same thing, but got associated with each other later due to the similarities of their names and elements. The origin of the idea of the "flying Lempo" could be in that if a para was given too many tasks, it started to burn and flew on the sky as a fire ball (a meteroite). Connecting fire-related things to demons by Christians was very common.
Commecting Lempo and Lemmes in many instances hold up, in my opinion. When Tuuletar is lulling trees, Lemmes created the alder, accompanied by many other "demonic" names. For further info on the possible fire deity, please see Lemmetär in Daughters of the Underworld.
