Pyrene (Celtic Tradition)
Figure from Greek and Roman mythology with possible associations to Celtic tradition, associated with the Iberian region. (Note: - The article states that Pyrene's myth is "largely based on Greek and Roman sources", which contradicts the source material stating that her myth survives in Greek and Roman writings. - Power tier: B)
Pyrgo
Pyrgo (Greek: Πυργώ) is a mortal woman named in Greek and Roman mythic genealogies and narratives. She appears chiefly as the first wife or consort of Alcathous in Pelops-cycle genealogies and, in other attestations, as a nurse of Priam's children who accompanies Aeneas to Sicily. Sources present Pyrgo as a named human household figure rather than a supernatural being.
Pyrrha
Pyrrha (Πύῤῥα, "flame-coloured" or "red") is a mortal heroine in Greek myth: wife of Deucalion and one of the two human survivors of Zeus's deluge. Following an oracle from Themis, she and Deucalion repopulate the earth by casting stones over their shoulders that transform into people; she is therefore an ancestral/matriarchal figure in post‑diluvian genealogies.
Python
Python is listed in the supplied sources as a mythical serpent. The available material is a disambiguation-style attestation and does not supply narrative, descriptive, or ritual detail beyond the label "mythical serpent."
Pyttius
Pyttius is attested in the provided sources solely as a human genealogical figure in Greek mytho-historical tradition, named as the father of Amarynceus, a chief of the Eleans. The sources do not present Pyttius as supernatural, nor do they record deeds, cult, appearance, or rituals associated with him.
Päivätär
Päivätär is the female personification of the Sun in Finnish traditional mythology, depicted in runic songs and Kalevalaic material as a beautiful lady who owns the Sun's silver, spins and weaves silver yarns into clothes, gives jewellery to maidens when petitioned, and appears in regional myths connected to fire, wasps, and mythic households such as Päivölä.
Púca (Pooka / Puca)
A long-standing folkloric spirit from Irish and related Celtic traditions, the púca is a shape‑shifting, ambivalent supernatural being commonly associated with rural and maritime communities and said to bring both good and ill fortune.
Pārśvanātha
Pārśvanātha (also Pārśva, Pārasanātha) is the 23rd of the 24 tīrthaṅkaras in Jainism, venerated as a perfected spiritual teacher (siddha/jina) whose life and teachings model the path of renunciation and liberation. Historians commonly date his life to between c. 8th and 6th century BCE and consider him the earliest tīrthaṅkara with a historical nucleus in later hagiography; he is credited in scholarship with founding a proto-Jaina ascetic community later reformed by Mahāvīra.
Pīwakawaka
The pīwakawaka is the Māori name for the New Zealand fantail (Rhipidura fuliginosa), a small, restless insectivorous bird widely familiar across Aotearoa and present in Māori oral tradition where it appears both as common wildlife and as an actor in mythic narratives (notably a role in a Māui story about the origin of death).
Płanetnik (Slavic Tradition)
A demonic creature embodying atmospheric phenomena, with potential control over or manipulation of weather patterns. (Note: - The power tier should be Primordial, as it has control over atmospheric phenomena. - There's no information about wards in the source material, so that section should be removed. - Weaknesses should)
Pūkas
The available sources do not document a Baltic supernatural being named Pūkas. References found in the provided material treat Pūkas as a modern Lithuanian proper name used for a privately owned broadcasting company (founded 1991; radio since 1996; television since 2001; based in Kaunas) and as a surname borne by contemporary individuals mentioned in news reports. No folkloric origin, appearance, powers, rituals, or cosmological placement are attested in the supplied sources.
Pūtanā
Pūtanā is a female rakṣasī (demoness) in the Krishna infancy cycle who, disguised as a beautiful woman, attempts to kill the infant-god Krishna by breastfeeding him poisoned or drugged milk; when Krishna kills her, contact with the divine cleanses her. She functions simultaneously as a child-killing spirit, a symbolic personification of infant disease, and—in some readings and ritual prescriptions—as a figure whose worship or propitiation is invoked protectively for children.
