Description[]
Deities and Cosmic Entities are immortal creatures forming a divine pantheon. Each of them has a specific role and assumes a well-defined function, ensuring the maintenance of balance and order throughout the multiverse.
Characteristics[]
These entities are not classic biological species like humans, dogs, or magicians. Their “biology” is often conceptual, energetic, or metaphysical rather than physical. They do not age and generally do not need normal biological systems (breathing, digestion, reproduction).
They are extremely powerful, often immortal or eternal, and operate on a scale far beyond mere worlds, able to influence time, life, death, dreams, dimensions, and even the structure of the multiverse.
Each of them controls their own dimension and domain. For example, Prismo resides in the Time Room and is also the Wish-Giver: he has the power to grant wishes, which sometimes require the creation of a new universe within the multiverse. His role also includes observing and monitoring the multiverse.
The relationship between Cosmic Entities (multiversal) and Cosmic Entities (universal) is currently unclear.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Immortality: They do not age and cannot die of old age.
- Invulnerability: According to the Karmic Worm, they are comparable to ideas, making them extremely difficult to kill.
- Cosmic Powers: They can manipulate time, life, death, dreams, mutations, or even existence itself.
- Individual Powers: In addition, Deities and Cosmic Entities presumably possess unique abilities tied to what they embody or control, including the ability to travel across the multiverse and dimensions.
Multiversal Entities[]
Beings who are singular entities in the Multiverse. (with the exception of fionnaworld counterparts, probably because they are not true counterparts, but rather individual entities created by Prismo)

Trivia[]
- In The Adventure Time Encyclopædia, Hunson Abadeer said that even he does not remember his own origins, as he has existed before time and before everything when there were only monsters like Orgalorg and the Lich, indicating that he might be a Deity, though it hasn't been confirmed in the show whether or not this is true.
- Abraham Lincoln, who is the King of Mars, is a temporary member of the cosmic entities.
- The belief in Jesus Christ and other real-life religions was possibly a thing before the Mushroom War in the Adventure Time universe, considering the fact that he was mentioned in the show Fionna and Cake in the human version of Fionna-world which was based upon Simon's psyche (who was born before the war) and there are churches and some minor christian objects/decoration in both original series and Fionna and Cake in pre-war flashbacks and antique items. Being an antiquarian, Simon's vintage house in Fionna and Cake also has some decorative paintings with real life (at least in terms of belief) mythological beings suggesting the world before the war was very similar to the real world, including some beliefs and the human culture.
