There is no single mythological origin story for Arctus in the supplied materials. Instead, the name derives from the Greek root arktos/arktos meaning 'bear' and is applied in classical sources as a proper name (e.g., appearing among mythic catalogues as a centaur and as one of the Horae) and in astronomical nomenclature as a reference to the Great Bear (Ursa Major), which in turn provided the basis for naming the Arctic region.
The sources contain no ethnographic or folkloric description of an embodied supernatural Arctus. Attestations of the term occur as (1) a star-pattern/constellation reference (the Great Bear), (2) classical personal names (e.g., a centaur on the Shield of Heracles, a named Hora), and (3) modern/fictitious personal or corporate names and taxonomic epithets (e.g., Scyllarus arctus, Arctus Baran in fiction).
No supernatural abilities, powers, or behaviors are attributed to an entity named Arctus in the provided documentation. Where behavior is described, it is either biological (the slipper lobster Scyllarus arctus as a marine species) or fictional and human (a mercenary captain characterized as ruthless in modern fiction).
*Perkʷūnos
*Perkʷūnos is the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European thunder‑god hypothesized by comparative linguistics and mythology. Scholarly reconstructions portray him as a storm or thunder figure associated with fructifying rain and as the combatant who fights a multi‑headed water‑serpent to release life‑giving waters; no direct attestations from the Proto‑Indo‑European period survive and the figure is inferred from later Indo‑European traditions.
*Péh₂usōn (reconstructed)
Péh₂usōn is a hypothetical Proto‑Indo‑European pastoral guardian reconstructed by comparative scholars from parallels in Greek and Vedic traditions. Proposed as a Graeco‑Aryan ancestor‑figure, the reconstruction describes a protector of flocks, roads, and travellers rather than an attested historical cultic personality.

Aba (disambiguation / name-form)

In Hebrew scripture Abaddon is primarily a noun meaning 'destruction' or a section/condition of the underworld paired with Sheol; in the New Testament Book of Revelation Abaddon is personified as an angelic figure (Greek Apollyon) described as the king of an army of locusts released from the abyss during the apocalypse.
Aban Yasht
The Aban Yasht is a hymn from the Persian tradition that praises Anahita, a goddess associated with water, fertility, and wisdom. It consists of 132 stanzas and is part of the 21 Yashts collection. (Note: - Power tier should be "Primordial" or possibly "Cosmic", given that it's a hymn of great spiritual significance and associated with a goddess. - The article incorrectly states that Anahita is associa)
Abarbarea
Abarbarea is a name attested in classical Greek and Roman sources for freshwater nymphs (naiads). The name appears for at least two individual mythic figures — a naiad wife of Bucolion and a naiad counted among ancestors of the Tyrians — and Hesychius records plural forms that may indicate the name was also used as a class-name (Abarbareai / Abarbalaiai).
