A folkloric story or character is one that's based on old traditions and legends.

Folklore itself refers to the stories, customs, and beliefs passed down through generations of people. These can be things like ghost stories, fairy tales, or even recipes that are special because they've been in families for a long time. When something is described as folkloric, it's often implying that it has roots in this kind of storytelling tradition. For example, a character from a fantasy book might be described as having a "folkloric" feel if their powers and abilities draw on old myths or legends.
