Urarina cosmology is an elaborately animistic system centered on ayahuasca shamanism and the ritualized use of Brugmansia suaveolens; myths record several named supernatural actors (for example, Kuanra and his son Kuanra Kajlaui, and an ayahuasca-associated god and his daughter) who appear in flood/deluge narratives and other origin stories.
Urcuchillay

Urduja
Urduja is a legendary medieval warrior-princess and ruler recorded in Ibn Battuta's 14th-century travel writings and later adopted in Philippine regional and national memory as a proto‑national heroine associated—controversially—with Pangasinan. Sources treat her as a mortal political and military leader whose historicity and geographic provenance (Tawalisi/Kaylukari) are disputed.
Uriel
Uriel is an archangel figure in Jewish and Christian apocryphal, liturgical, and popular traditions, variously described as an interpreter of prophecy, guardian of cosmological thresholds (Gate of Eden, Tartarus/pit), regent of light or the sun, and a guide or agent in salvation narratives. His prominence and specific functions vary by tradition (Second Book of Esdras, Ethiopian homily, apocryphal gospels, patristic and later angelologies).
Ursa Minor
Ursa Minor is a northern constellation (the 'Lesser Bear' or Little Dipper) historically used as a north marker because its brightest star, Polaris, currently marks the north celestial pole. It appears in multiple cultural star-systems (Greek, Babylonian, Chinese, Inuit) with varying asterism identities and has been included in classical and modern astronomical catalogues.
Uru (Uros)
An indigenous ethnolinguistic people of the Lake Titicaca region known for living on self-fashioned floating totora‑reed islands and for a material culture tightly bound to lacustrine resources. Their identity, subsistence technology, and social history are documented in ethnographic sources.
Uruaokapuarangi
A great ocean-going canoe used by Māori ancestors to migrate and settle the South Island. (Note: - Power tier: Primordial (since it's a canoe used for migrating and settling an entire island, implying significant influence and power) - Abilities: More detail is needed on how it transported people)
Urutengangana
In Māori mythology, Urutengangana is a god of light and the firstborn child of Ranginui (Sky father) and Papatūānuku (Earth mother). He plays a significant role in the creation myth and balance between light and darkness. (Note: 1. Power tier: Primordial does not necessarily imply Urutengangana has cosmic powers; consider reclassifying to Ancient or leaving unspecified. 2. Origin story: The article states "firstborn child" bu)
Urðr
Urðr is one of the three Norns in Norse mythic tradition, commonly interpreted as the figure associated with the past. She is attested in the Poetic Edda (Völuspá) and in Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda (Gylfaginning) as one of the fate-determining women who sit at Urðarbrunnr beneath Yggdrasil and measure or mark the destinies of gods and humans.
Ushi-oni
A place‑bound yōkai of western Japan, the ushi‑oni (牛鬼, also gyūki) is depicted as a dangerous ox‑headed monstrous being tied to beaches, stream pools, waterfalls, caves, and mountains. Regional tales portray it as predatory and harmful — spitting poison, devouring humans, or draining a traveler's soul — while some local stories present shape‑shifting variants that may interact with humans in other ways.
Utu (Shamash)
Utu, known in Akkadian as Shamash, is the ancient Mesopotamian sun deity who functions as the personified sun, divine judge, protector of travelers, and a god associated with divination; he was especially venerated at Sippar and Larsa and figures in a family of major gods.
