The followers of this mythology assume that any desired shape can arise with conscious creation. Unconsciously created tulpas should often resemble the people from whom they come and should be triggered by strong emotions . Tulpas that the death of a man arise are sometimes astral shells called. One of the most famous examples of a tulpa is the yeti , who roams the Himalayas as an eerie snowman. Generated by rumors and legends, it is brought to life by the widespread fear of it being held as "real existing".

David-Néel claimed that she created a tulpa that looked like a monk and later developed a life of its own that it had to be destroyed.

The modern tulip scene was formed around 2009 in a 4chan discussion forum. The largest forum on this topic has around 10,000 members (as of 2018).
