According to the summary in Collin de Plancy’s Dictionnaire Infernal (which cites an earlier moralité attributed to Durzel), Rahovart is presented as a companion of Satan and an infernal agent responsible for certain torments. The available sources do not provide a fuller origin narrative, genealogical details, or a broader mythic biography beyond this attribution.
The historical sources summarized in the Dictionnaire Infernal provide no detailed physical description; as noted in the secondary summaries, "little is known about the demon himself." Modern game and fiction uses supply visual depictions, but those are later creative reuses and not described in the traditional sources cited.
Per the Dictionnaire Infernal's summary of Durzel’s account, Rahovart is credited with tormenting "evil, rich misers and old curmudgeons," is charged with avalanches and "ghostly torment," and is said to most easily possess the elderly. The tradition reports that if an elderly person dies while under Rahovart's influence, their souls are collected into Rahovart's basket until the day of judgment. Modern adaptations reuse the name in varied fictional roles (game bosses, pain-elemental, trickster), but those are creative repurposings rather than continuations of the historical account.
Raedieahkka
Raedieahkka (also attested as Radien-akka) is a goddess in Sámi mythology who, together with her consort Radien-attje, is described in the cited sources as one of the two principal divinities responsible for creating the world and the human soul. She is named as the mother of Rana Niejta and Raediengiedte.
Raet-Tawy
Raet-Tawy (Raet) is the feminine aspect of the Egyptian sun-god Ra, a solar goddess attested from the Old Kingdom onward and venerated in local cults at Medamud, El-Tod and Thebes. She is primarily known as a gendered form of Ra (her name literally meaning the female Ra and Raet of the Two Lands) and appears in triadic temple contexts rather than as a fully independent creator deity.
Ragnar Lodbrok
A legendary Viking leader recorded in Old Norse sagas and later medieval chronicles, portrayed as an exceptional warrior and progenitor of famed Viking sons. Medieval sources treat him as a storied ancestral king whose historicity is debated and whose deeds bridge saga-legend and attempted historiography.
Ragnarök
Ragnarök is a foretold eschatological sequence in Old Norse sources describing the terminal destruction of the present cosmic order—a great battle among gods and monsters—followed by the world’s sinking in fire and flood and a subsequent renewal. It is presented in the Poetic Edda (notably Völuspá) and the Prose Edda as the destined end and rebirth of gods, humans, and the world.
Rahab
In Jewish tradition, Rahab is a multifaceted concept representing both the mythical sea monster and various symbolic entities. (Note: * Power tier should be "Primordial" only if Rahab's abilities justify it; the source does not provide sufficient information about its abilities to determine its power level accurately. * Abilities: T)
Rahko
A figure in Finnish mythology associated with celestial events and the Moon, its exact nature and classification unclear. (Note: - Power tier should be Lowered from Primordial to Ancient, as it only influences lunar cycles and phases. - Origin story is partially correct; the year 1551 is accurate, but it's not clear if Rahko wa)
Raijū
The raijū (雷獣, 'thunder beast') is a Japanese yōkai associated with lightning and thunder and traditionally described as a companion or animated manifestation of the storm deity Raijin. Folklore links its appearances to thunderstorms and lightning strikes and records regional customs developed to mark, ward, or respond to its presence.
Raimundo
Raimundo is documented in the provided sources primarily as a male personal name borne by historical and contemporary individuals and as a modern fictional character name (not as a traditional supernatural being). The materials do not present a coherent mythological or folkloric entity named Raimundo with a consistent cosmology, appearance, powers, or ritual corpus.
Rainbow Body (Tibetan tradition)
In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the Rainbow Body is a level of realization where the physical body transmutes into light, indicating profound spiritual attainment. (Note: 1. Remove Primordial power tier as it's not supported by the source material, which doesn't indicate a cosmic or deity-level power. 2. Add more specific information about the Rainbow Body phenomenon a)
Rainbow Serpent (Dreamtime) — Yurlunggur / Ngalyod
A central creator-being in many Australian Aboriginal cosmologies, the Rainbow Serpent is a widespread Dreamtime motif associated with the shaping of land, the generation of living diversity, and regulatory or disciplinary power that can cause chaos when transgressed. Its identity, names, and attributes vary among different Aboriginal language groups and traditions.
Rainbow Serpent (Wagyl / Wagylu)
Ancestral, creative being central to many Aboriginal Australian cosmologies, the Rainbow Serpent is associated with the shaping of landscape, control of water and fertility, and the regulation of social and natural order. Known by numerous local names and described with regional variation, it is often linked to permanent waterholes and to rainbows as signs of its movement.
Rakhsh (Persian Tradition)
A mythological stallion and companion to the legendary hero Rostam in the Persian national epic Shahnameh. (Note: 1. Power tier: Based on Rakhsh's association with a legendary hero, it seems more likely to be Greater (deity-level) rather than Lesser. 2. Abilities: While we can infer that Rakhsh has strength and s)
