A deity or demigod whose specialty is healing. Most gods can heal in a pinch, but they are not pure healers with a healing domain within a Fantasy Pantheon. In real-life mythologies, this god is the one who teaches medicine and is the patron for human healing arts. This trope is Older Than Dirt since it appears in stone age cultures, Ancient Egypt, and Mesopotamian Mythology. This trope is for deities and not mortal characters with a healing ability like Healing Hands. This type of deity is often The Medic for their Fantasy Pantheon and is a source of Life Energy or White Magic for player characters needing healing. This type of deity tends to be on the good side of Balance Between Good and Evil or Black-and-White Morality, or on the side of life in Life/Death Juxtaposition against death. Subtrope of Stock Gods. |

Wonder Woman (1987): Apollo's position as an Olympian healer comes up when Zeus' power and mind begin to degrade, but even he can do nothing for a god whose power source has failed so utterly that it is affecting his mind within his own realm. | |

Subverted in the interactive romance novel Moonrise. While other characters laud Ishara as a goddess with vast powers, she's actually just a wayward healer from another world. In her original world, her powers are perfectly ordinary. | |

Six Ages has Erissa, a pacifistic healer goddess with marked similarities to King of Dragon Pass's Chalana Arroy. And Chalana herself cameos: invoke her name, and her worshippers must let a healer pass them to reach her patient, even if they were in the process of killing said patient a minute ago. | |

Pathfinder: While Sarenrae is primarily a solar goddess, she is also associated with healing through her focus on mercy and aiding the suffering. Irori, while primarily a god of knowledge and enlightenment, also has associations with health and healing. |

Dungeons & Dragons: Dragonlance: This book and games series has a gentle goddess of healing and compassion named Mishakal. Forgotten Realms: Ilmater is a good god who takes on others' suffering, and healing others is a major duty for his worshipers. Lathander is the god of birth, renewal, healing, and the sunrise/dawn. He's basically Pelor from the Greyhawk setting with a different name and a bit less of a solar focus. Luthic is the only orc deity concerned with healing, and the most powerful orc goddess. Naralis Analor is an elven god known as the Watcher of Souls or the Healer. Healing is a domain for dwarven goddesses Sharindlar and Berronar Truesilver. Greyhawk: Pelor was the popular sun god of light, strength, and healing. |

In Fushigi Yuugi, the Nyan-Nyan are minor goddesses of healing in the Fantasy Pantheon of the series. They normally take the form of adorable little girls (who all appear to be clones of each other), though they do make an appearance as beautiful adult women towards the end, and one takes the form of a young teenager in the 2nd OVA. They can also be used as temporary containers for disembodied souls with unfinished business. | |

In the City-Building Series: Pharaoh: When a city worships Bast as Patron God and adds the right upgrades to her Temple Complex, her priestesses can remove plagued citizens, preventing them from spreading the infection further (they don't replace physicians though). On the flip side, anger Bast and she'll send a plague. Zeus: Master of Olympus: As a Patron God, Apollo helps prevent plague in your city. However, if he's hostile, he'll send a plague and curse your infirmaries. Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom: As the legendary founder of Chinese herbal medicine, when the Divine Farmer Shen Nong walks the streets of your city, he provides herbalist services to all households he passes and halves the cost of new herbalist buildings. |

The Elder Scrolls: While all of the Aedra do qualify to some degree, Stendarr, the God of Justice, and Kynareth, Goddess of the Heavens, are usually the deities that are most heavily associated with healing. Tellingly, this is likely due to their spheres of influence as gods of Compassion and Mercy (Stendarr, on top of being a God of Justice), and a Nature Goddess (Kynareth). Mara, goddess of love, also qualifies in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, as her amulets make Restoration spells easier to cast. |

EverQuest features Rodcet Nife as the God of Health and Healing. He and his followers are fundamentally opposed to Bertoxxulous, the evil God of Disease, and his disease-spreading worshippers. EverQuest II reveals that he took up the vacant domain after the previous Goddess of Health, Anashti'Sul, was banished to the Void because her idea of "curing" death was to create the existence of The Undead. The domain had been abandoned, and by the time Anashti was able to escape the void back to Norrath, Rodcet had been the Prime Healer for a few millennia. She has since become the evil Goddess of Undeath instead. | |

The Bible: Jesus, being the Son of God and given authority to heal the sick, goes on to heal the sick, notably blind people and lepers, exorcise demons, and resurrect the dead, even on Sabbath days, to which Jewish authorities find it a violation on their laws. Jesus is of course famous for healing people in the Gospels. Healings are probably the most frequent miracle that he's shown to perform. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Isha, the mother goddess of the Aeldari, is also the goddess of healing and rejuvenation. After the Fall of the Aeldari, Isha was captured by Nurgle, the Chaos God of Plagues, who holds her prisoner within his mansion, testing his newest infections on her to see how long it takes her to heal herself. Isha continues to help her children, however, sending them the cures for Nurgle's diseases in their dreams whenever the Plague Father is distracted. | |

Warhammer: Shallya, the pacifistic White Dove of Mercy, is the Human goddess of healing who is loved by all good people. While she and her followers are mostly relegated to the lore when they do have rules (such as in the Gaiden Game Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay), Shallya grants a broad range of healing spells to her cultists, along with one potent offensive spell that only affects followers of Nurgle, the Chaos God of Disease. | |

In Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, there are a number of gods who specialize in making healing potions. One of Hestia's close friends in Orario, Miach, is a Nice Guy who enjoys handing out potions to newbies in need of them, even though it constantly puts his already impoverished family in the red. His rival, Dian Cecht, is comparatively wealthy due to his high-quality potions but is a known Jerkass who constantly overcharges for his services. | |

The GURPS "Dungeon Fantasy" sub-line features classic dungeon fantasy-style clerics and holy warriors, and allows for the possibility of them worshiping a range of deities. As in other games of dungeon-delving adventure, virtually all clerics — at least, all "good" clerics — tend to have healing as a primary function, but some focus on it especially hard. GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 7: Clerics offers different spell lists and special powers for different types of deity served, and "Gods of Healing" is an option there. The book even covers the possibility of "holy warriors of healing", while acknowledging that this seems a little paradoxical and may require some special explanation. | |
