Ruach
Ruach (רוּחַ) is a Hebrew term used in Jewish and related theological discourse to denote spirit, breath, or wind; it functions as the life‑giving principle that animates living beings and as a mode or influence of God's presence (e.g., Ruach Ha‑Kodesh, the Holy Spirit). The term is primarily conceptual and metaphorical rather than an individualized anthropomorphic spirit in the supplied sources.
Ruakaramea

(Note: - Power tier: The article should be classified as a Primordial, given its significant role in the early migrations that settled New Zealand. - Weaknesses: There is no information provided about Ruakar)
Ruakerepeti
Ruakerepeti appears in Māori sources as a named tūpuna / individual remembered in oral narrative and material culture. He is recorded in a dispute with Tamatea over ownership of Rangaunu and is named among ancestors carved on a meeting-house koruru and tekoteko.
Ruapani
Ruapani was a historical rangatira (paramount chief) of the Tūranganui-a-Kiwa (Poverty Bay) region of the New Zealand East Coast in the 15th–16th centuries, said to have held paramountcy around 1525. He is an important ancestral figure whose genealogical convergence of high-status lines (including descent from Pawa and Kiwa of the Horouta waka) made his rule undisputed; his residence was Popoia pā and he was ultimately interred in the sacred cave Kohurau at Whare Kōrero. Several hapū and notable later figures claim descent from him, and his legacy anchors local whakapapa and territorial identity.
Ruawharo
Ruawharo is attested in Māori sources primarily as a personal/ancestral name and as a placename element. The name appears for an ancestor and craftsman involved in Tākitimu canoe-making, as an eponym for sites (Ōruawharo River, Ruawharo Marae), and in traditions crediting him with provisioning shellfish for descendants.
