Description Manda* : A massive serpent with four limbs and a horned head, noted for its resemblance to Chinese Dragons. Manda is the most well known of Mu Gods, being referred to and visualized more then any other.

Manda is the God of the Sea and Water. Alternatively referred to as he/she, Manda also represents parenthood and the ability to struggle. Manda was prayed to in times of adversity, such as battle and childbirth.

In the last records of Mu's final days, after the "Toba Comet" was detected by Muan astrologers, a ritual to "Invoke Manda'' is said to be in progress amongst other "Impact Preparations".

*The 300 meter long skeleton of a serpentine kaiju was found underwater by the Gotengo during an expedition in 1974. It is believed that in life, this entity was the individual specimen known as "Manda" to the Muans.

The Winged Life-Goddess : An unnamed Goddess said to be responsible for overseeing all forms of life. No statues or other visual depictions have been found. The Goddess was said to be a subordinate to Manda and could live on both land, sea, and in the air. The Goddess was said to heal the ill and the wounded with a mere flap of its wings, and along side Manda it was known for assisting in battles with hostile megafauna like Skullcrawlers. Additionally, she was claimed to have the power to reincarnate from an egg if wounded.

While the Goddess did not have name, accounts of its nature and abilities have lead to speculations that she was an ancient Titanus Mosura, perhaps even a relative of the currently known living specimen on Infant Island.

Kilaak : A trickster God said to take on many forms, this God was one that represented intelligence, bravery, wit, cunning, charism, and acting. Among its many forms were said to be an eyeless snake with bright silver scales, a hairless androgynous human wearing a silver cloak, a cat made of white crystals, a bird with red eyes and silver feathers, and a group of silver leeches that could combine together in the form of young skullcrawler.

Kilaak was said to live in a cave system beneath the continent. Those hoping to gain great knowledge and to learn the secrets of the world would allegedly have to enter Kilaak's cave and pass a "Test" from it that would involve confronting each of its forms. Completing the tests would result in a "reward of knowledge."

Failure would result in death and consumption by Kilaak. Unfortunately, the exact nature of these "tests" has yet to be found. Searches for more info on this God continues.

Methuselah : A giant God of nature and longevity. Resembled a heavily armored quadruped with a massive forest growing on its back. Statues and descriptions indicate that several camps and buildings were crafted on its back whenever it was sleeping. Methuselah was said to wake up then go dormant after miles of walking every forty years. The creature is notable for sharing a name with a future biblical figure. Little is known of how it interacted with other kaiju in the era.

Massive hoofprints in the have been found in excavated areas believed to have contained forests, leading credence to the existence of a real kaiju that was indeed worshipped back then.

Baltan : A giant armored humanoid figure that represented hope and science, and was worshipped predominantly by engineers and scientists in Mu. Aside from a Mural showing it's vague shape surrounded by what appears to be exploding light, little is known about this God, or whether or not Baltan was based on a real organism.

Vana : A "Brother of dragons", Vana is said to be a rival of Manda, and the two were said to have fought after meeting at sea. Manda won and later was said to have created the people of Mu from the blood that had been spilled from Vana and itself (Later retellings from newer periods of Muan history claim that Manda simply brought the first settlers of Mu on its back.)

After its loss, Vana was said to submit to Manda as a lesser deity, and he could come to Manda's aid to help defend Mu in its early days from "Underkings and their armies".

Vana is the God of fire and friendship, and has been seen both as a statue and on cave drawings as a purple serpent with a hood like that of a cobra and a "beard" of bladed tendrils. Vana is also said to be the father of "Axor", but aside from this mention in the "Scroll of the Sinking", nothing about the latter is known.

Metphies : Notably not a kaiju or deity by Mu's standards, Metphies was according to lore a Muan scholar who disappeared after "Calculating Infinity". No visual depictions of Metphies exist, but it is known that he was not worshipped as in an official capacity as the other Gods were.

Most of his worshippers appeared to have been fringe cults of mathematicians and disgraced scholars who would spend days and nights trying to recreate Methphies calculations in order to "Ascend" as he allegedly did and follow Metphies to wherever he apparently went.

The cult appears to have been seen as eccentric but harmless by larger Muan society, with occasional references to other scholars derisively calling them "Gematrons."
