Orias is presented in the cataloguing format of a numbered grimoire entry: specifically named as "The Fifty-ninth Spirit" in the source summary. This situates him as part of a larger indexed series of spirits typical of Renaissance and early modern Goetic-style demonological works. The supplied materials do not provide any cosmogonic origin, biographical history, or mythic narrative for Orias beyond this catalogue placement.
The grimoire-derived description (the Fifty-ninth Spirit) depicts Orias as appearing in the form of a lion, mounted upon a mighty and strong horse which has a serpent's tail; in his right hand he holds two great serpents that are hissing. This composite bestial and mounted appearance is recorded in the summarized grimoire entry reproduced in the cited source and is the sole physical description provided in the available material.
According to the cited grimoire-style entry, Orias' office is to teach the virtues of the stars and to know the mansions of the planets and how to understand their virtues, indicating a role as a teacher of astrological knowledge. He is further said to transform men, to grant dignities and prelacies and confirmation thereof, and to secure favour with friends and foes. The entry also states he governs thirty legions of spirits and that he has a seal (the seal itself is referenced but not reproduced in the supplied material). All these attributed powers derive from the single grimoire-format description summarized in the provided source.

Orang Pendek
Orang Pendek is a figure from Sumatran tradition and modern cryptozoology described either as a short, ground-dwelling bipedal primate inhabiting remote forests of Sumatra or, in some indigenous accounts, as a supernatural 'short ghost' (Hantu Pendek) used in oral lore and cautionary tales.
Orc
A literary and philological construct originating from an Old English attestation and substantially developed in J. R. R. Tolkien's mythopoeic writings as a corrupt, warlike humanoid race serving dark powers; earlier usage in Beowulf links the element to underworld/demonic associations.
Oread
A class of mountain nymphs (Ὀρειάς, Oreiás) in Greek mythology, the Oreads are local nature spirits associated with mountains and high places and commonly depicted as companions or retinues of deities such as Artemis, Pan, and Dionysus. They appear in mythic narratives and an epigrammatic source where they participate in founding a place of worship.
Oreius
Oreius (also attested as Oreios, Orius, Oreus) is a named centaur figure appearing in two distinct narrative contexts: as one of the centaurs who tried to seize Pholus' wine and was killed by Heracles in Greek myth summaries, and as a centaur military leader (centaur general/commander) in C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia and later adaptations/fan works where he fights on Aslan's side.
Orestes
Orestes (Ancient Greek: Ὀρέστης) is a mythic Greek prince and later king, son of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, whose avenging of his father's murder by killing Aegisthus and Clytemnestra leads to pursuit by the Erinyes and a landmark divine-legal resolution (the trial on the Athenian Acropolis). His narrative explores guilt, divine command, ritual purification, and the transition from private vengeance to civic justice.
Orestheus
Orestheus is a mythic founder-figure in Greek tradition appearing in variant genealogies as either a son of Deucalion and Pyrrha associated with the Ozolian Locrians of Aetolia (noted for a vine-origin wonder-tale) or as one of the fifty sons of Lycaon credited with founding Oresthasion/Oresteion in Arcadia. He functions as an eponymic ancestral figure used to explain place-names and tribal identities.
Orion
Orion is presented in the supplied sources primarily as a name and cultural referent — most centrally the figure 'Orion (mythology), a hunter in Greek mythology' and the constellation named after him — rather than as a single, fully documented folkloric supernatural entity within the supplied materials. The available documents catalogue wide modern reuse of the name (constellation, works of art, characters, companies, places) but do not provide primary mythic narratives, rituals, or detailed cosmological role.
Orisha
Orisha (Òrìṣà) are named divine or supernatural figures in Yoruba religious thought and its Afro‑diasporic continuations (for example, Candomblé and Cuban Yoruba associations). They function as central agents of worship, ritual engagement, and divinatory communication in Yoruba communal and individual religious life.
Oriṣa (Orisha / Orixá)
Oriṣa (Yoruba: òrìṣà; Portuguese: orixá; Spanish variants: orisha, oricha, orichá) are the class of divine spirits or deities central to the Yoruba religion of West Africa and to Yoruba-derived religious systems in the Atlantic diaspora (notably Lucumí/Santería in Cuba and Candomblé in Brazil). They function as active sacred presences and intermediaries in communal and individual religious life; in diaspora settings they were often syncretized with Catholic saints as a strategy of continuity under colonial Christian rule.
Orko (Basque Thunder God)
Deity associated with thunder and the forces of nature in ancient Basque mythology. (Note: * Power tier: Greater (not Ancient), as there's no indication of deity-level powers. * Abilities: Specify exactly what abilities related to weather control are associated with Orko, instead of making )
Ormenus
Ormenus (Ancient Greek Ὄρμενος) is not a single supernatural being but a personal name attested for several mortal figures in Greek mythic genealogies and epic narratives. Bearers include an eponymous king associated with Ormenion/Ormenium in Thessaly, a father of Ctesius (thus ancestor of Eumaeus in the Odyssey), and various minor warriors appearing in lists of combatants (Trojan casualties; the Seven against Thebes). The name functions primarily as a genealogical and toponymic marker across epic and local traditions.
Ornea (Ornia)
Ornea (Ancient Greek: Ὀρνία), also attested as Ornia, is an eponymous figure in Greek myth presented as a daughter of the river-god Asopus and Metope and cited as the name-giver of the town Orneae in Argolis. She appears in genealogical and place-origin traditions rather than as an independently agentive supernatural being.
