No mythological origin story for a supernatural Nomion is present in the provided sources. Instead, the attested usages show three distinct contexts: (1) Linnaean-style taxonomic epithets used in the scientific names of butterflies (for example Parnassius nomion and Hypomyrina nomion), where 'Nomion' functions as a Latinized species or subspecies name without folkloric narrative; (2) modern proper-name usages in popular culture and fandom (for example character or title instances on Battlestar Wiki and contemporary web content), which are secular name usages rather than traditional origin myths; and (3) a single Wikidata label that reads 'ruler in Caria in Greek mythology' (Wikidata Q16330774). The Wikidata label is uncited in the supplied materials and is not supported by any primary mythographic source provided here, so it should be treated as an unstable database annotation rather than an attested origin story.
There is no description of a supernatural appearance for a being named Nomion in the available sources. What is described are actual butterflies bearing the epithet: Parnassius nomion (the Nomion Apollo) is identified as a forest-steppe butterfly in the snow-Apollo genus Parnassius (family Papilionidae) found across parts of Eurasia, and Hypomyrina nomion (the dark orange playboy) is a Lycaenid butterfly found across parts of West and Central Africa. Modern proper-name occurrences (e.g., 'Stu Nomion' or 'Nomion's 3rd Sonata') are titles or personal names and include no physical or anthropomorphic description of a supernatural entity.
No powers, supernatural abilities, behaviors, or interactions are attributed to a Nomion in the supplied sources. The only behaviors implied relate to the biological existence and geographic distribution of the butterflies named with the epithet; however, specific behavioral ecology (e.g., feeding, flight patterns) is not provided in the excerpts. No rituals, interactions with humans, or cosmological roles for a supernatural Nomion are documented in the available material.

*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.

58 Concordia

9MOTHER9HORSE9EYES9
An anonymous Reddit screen name and online persona used by the author of the Interface series, a multipart speculative-horror narrative posted in short installments across Reddit in 2016.

Aba (disambiguation / name-form)
Aba is a polyvalent name-form attested across many unrelated contexts (place names, personal names, animal names, and brief mythological listings). The provided sources do not support a single, coherent supernatural entity called "Aba" and offer no descriptive or ritual material for such a being.
Abaddon
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).
