Deities

Deities better known as Pagan gods, or more accurately, The Old Gods, are a race of immortal supernatural entities, with each being part of a pantheon relative to a region of the world.

Deities are fuelled by the recognition of their existence as well as worship and belief. this grants them their powers and abilities. While most deities, such as Athena and Palutena, are somewhat benevolent towards humanity and the other sentient species such as Inklings, some Deities such as Dionysus chose to take somewhat extreme measures to continue living. Despite the presence of benevolent deities, they all to tend to act on their own behalf and not for the good of humanity.

Pagan Deities don't also tend to get on well with members of other pantheons.
