Zakar-Baal is attested in modern scholarship as a named actor in Late Bronze Age Near Eastern diplomatic and exchange contexts.

Zanam Zindé

Mythical king of Tibet, the 16th Tsenpo in Tibetan mythology. (Note: 1. The power tier should be Greater, not Ancient (Ancient is deity-level), given the described abilities imply significant authority but not necessarily cosmic in scope. 2. The origin story section sh)

Hymnic literature presents her in luminous, cosmic imagery, and she is connected functionally to midwifery goddesses in the Mesopotamian corpus.

Zarpanitu

Zarpanitu (also Sarpanit) is a Mesopotamian goddess principally attested as the consort of the Babylonian chief god Marduk. Late sources associate her with pregnancy and describe her in roles parallel to her husband, including a queenly status among the gods; her cult centers were the village of Zarpan and the city of Babylon.

Zarqa al-Yamama

A pre-Islamic Arabian figure with exceptional intuition, sharp eyesight, and prophetic abilities. (Note: 1. Power tier: Lower the power tier to Ancient (deity-level) since her abilities are described as prophetic but not on a cosmic level. 2. Abilities: Add that her prophecies were often linked to omens )

A class of domestic yōkai from Tōhoku folk belief described as childlike house spirits that inhabit parlors or inner rooms; their presence is traditionally linked to household prosperity and they are known for playful mischief.
