Bo Le
Legendary horse tamer and judge from the Taoist tradition, renowned for his expertise in evaluating horses during the Spring and Autumn period. (Note: 1. Power tier should be Ancient, as Bo Le is described as "legendary" and the source material doesn't provide a basis for limiting him to a regional power level. 2. Appearance description should state)
Wonder Woman
A long-running American comic-book superheroine portrayed as an Amazon-Olympian princess and warrior from the island nation of Themyscira. She functions as a leading superhero in the DC Comics universe and a cultural archetype of a powerful, liberated woman; origins and certain attributes vary across comic-book continuities.
Wood harrier (Circus dossenus)
An extinct, forest-adapted small harrier known from Holocene subfossil remains on the Hawaiian islands of Oahu and Molokai. Described formally by James and Olson, it shows insular morphological adaptations and likely went extinct following human colonization impacts.
World Tree
A widespread mythic motif of a colossal, central tree that structures the cosmos by linking heaven, earth, and the underworld and, in some traditions, organizing the cardinal directions and sources of life or wisdom.
Wosret
Wosret (also Waset or Wosyet) is an ancient Egyptian city-goddess of Thebes whose name means "the powerful female one." She is a minor Theban deity attested primarily through royal titulary (e.g., Senwosret/Senusret) and occasional iconography that links her to the Was sceptre and martial accoutrements. Sources describe her as an early consort of Amun and later associated or conflated with Mut, though the relationship is ambiguous in the surviving record.
Wrathful Deities
In Mahayana and especially Vajrayana Buddhism, wrathful deities are fierce or wrathful forms (Tibetan: trowo; Sanskrit: krodha) of enlightened Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, or Devas. They function as protectors and transformative meditational yidams whose terrifying imagery is a skillful means (upaya) to remove obstacles, protect the Dharma, and transform afflictive emotions into wisdom.
Wu Fu (Wufu, Five Blessings)
Wu Fu (Wufu, "five blessings") is a Chinese cultural concept and auspicious motif representing a bundle of five desirable fortunes. It appears widely in decorative arts, rebuses, and charms as an emblem intended to signify or attract good luck rather than as an independent sentient spirit.
Wufu (五福) — The Five Blessings
Wufu (五福), literally "Five Blessings," is a Chinese cultural concept grouping five auspicious life goods (such as longevity, wealth, offspring, virtue, and peace). It functions as a moral‑cosmological template expressed in textual enumerations, visual rebuses, household displays, and New Year greetings rather than as a personified supernatural being.
Wunambal
Wunambal (also Unambal, Wunambal Gaambera, Uunguu) is an Aboriginal Australian people, language, and name for country in the northern Kimberley of Western Australia. The term in the available sources refers to the ethnonym, language, and landholders rather than a discrete supernatural being; their cosmology forms part of the wider Wanjina Wunggurr cultural bloc in which creator spirits such as the Wanjina and Wunggurr (including Wandjina imagery) are central.
Wyrd (Norse Tradition)
Concept governing individual lives and their destinies in Anglo-Saxon culture, corresponding to fate or personal destiny. (Note: 1. Power tier should be Lesser (local spirit) as Wyrd is not described as having cosmic-level power. 2. The summary should include the word "Anglo-Saxon culture" to match the source material, but this)
Wælcyrge (wælcyrie / wlcyrge)
An Old Norse-origin conception of a battle-associated female supernatural figure known in Old Norse as valkyrja and attested in Old English as wælcyrge/wælcyrie. In Norse sources these figures choose the slain on the battlefield and convey the chosen to Valhalla, while Old English attestations sometimes portray a more witch-like or maleficent war-maiden addressed in charms and manuscripts.
Wākea
Wākea is the Hawaiian Sky father and primordial ancestral progenitor who, with Papahānaumoku, forms the founding parent‑couple of the Hawaiian cosmos and chiefly genealogies. He is credited in some accounts with cosmogenic acts (creating islands, heavens, rain, and celestial bodies), is ancestor of the aliʻi, and is associated with moral adjudication of departed souls.
