For every thing, there is a god. There are gods of Love and War, Good and Evil, the Heavens where the creators of the world reside and the Underworld where the dead leave to rest. In between the high and the low lies the second half of that big blue horizon: the deep blue sea. Gods of the Water often reflect the very nature of their domain, being temperamental like a calm ocean that can swiftly shift into a raging storm. They often wield the Prongs of Poseidon (the most notable wielder being, of course, Poseidon himself), and anatomically either resemble humans, possess fish-like characteristics like gills and webbed feet, or are full-on merpeople. Given that they are gods, the Mermaid Problem is usually absent. Offerings are made to them by Pirates and Superstitious Sailors for safe sailing and a bountiful catch. Those who perish at sea look to them as guardians for their poor unfortunate souls being ferried to the afterlife. Sea Monsters answer to them, sinking the ships of sailors that fail to take proper precautions before crossing the enigmatic oceans. Compare and contrast Water Is Womanly, often more calm and graceful as associated with more "still" water. Contrast God of Fire, gods that deal with fire and/or volcanism. A Sub-Trope to Stock Gods. |

Aquaman has the title of "Ocean Master", although it doesn't grant any power, it's merely an attribute of the one uniting the remaining tribes of the old Atlantis (Orm in this case). The real power over the oceans is the Trident of King Atlan, which Arthur Curry/Aquaman gets before Orm. | |

The Amphibian Man from The Shape of Water is a Fish Person found in the Amazon River by the U.S. Government. The natives that lived by the river worshipped him as a god, the legitimacy of the skepticism against this claim put into question due to its healing touch, Healing Factor and its ability to give Elisa gills. | |

Cthulhu Mythos: While many of the Eldritch Abominations possess aquatic characteristics, Dagon and Hydra deserve special mention being powerful Deep Ones worshipped by the Esoteric Order of Dagon. Despite being corporal beings, Dagon and Hydra can fall under the category of Lovecraftian Gods due to their connection with the cult, their worshipers' transformative nature, the sheer threat they pose to mankind and their association with other Eldritch Abominations like the Star Spawn. | |

Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest: One of the Five Dragon Gods is Mercphobia, the Water Dragon God who can assume a Horned Humanoid form. While he denies being any sort of divinity, he's still The Good King of his city devoted to him, and while he's a fan of coexistence with humanity in the present he admits in the past he could and would drown countless people "like ants before the tide" if the mood struck him. His power is so extreme even in a weakened state he can split the ocean apart, he admits he could cause The Great Flood if he let his power get too out of control, and when he briefly goes Brainwashed and Crazy, he commands all the water currently submerging his city into the sky while preventing anymore from flooding in. | |

In Kid Icarus: Uprising, the seas part to allow Pit into the Seafloor Palace to fight Thanatos. When Pit asks Palutena how she did this, she jokingly accepts the credit before Poseidon reveals to be the one to part the seas and threatens to unpart them while Pit was still near the ocean floor. He scolds Palutena for lying and admits that he is only helping because the Underworld Army is overstepping into his territory. | |

In Final Fantasy XIV, there are two divine figures known for ruling the seas: Llymlaen the Navigator is a member of the Twelve and goddess of wind and the seas. Her winds guide sailors through the crashing waves and she is worshiped as a patron diety of the city-state Limsa Lominsa. Leviathan, Lord of the Whorl, is the Primal worshiped by the Sahagin who pray to and summon him to find and create safe havens for them to raise their young. |

In Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, the MacGuffin of the film is the Trident of Poseidon, an artifact capable of breaking all curses within the borders of the oceans upon its destruction. This not only implies that Poseidon is real, but that he is arguably the most powerful being in the franchise, his power maintaining all of the magic associated with the Seven Seas. | |

Tolkien's Legendarium: Of the Valar who shaped the planet, Ulmo has control over the oceans and waters, dwelling in the Eldritch ocean Vaiya that encircles the globe and watching all of Middle-Earth through its waterways. His Maiar servants include Ossë, who watches over the coasts and tides after a brief Face–Heel Turn; and Ossë's wife Uinen, who tempers his more extreme impulses and protects coastal life. | |

Pathfinder: Generally speaking, sea gods tend to be known for their tempestuous and fickle natures: Gozreh takes this role in their female incarnation as the goddess of the sea (as opposed to her male incarnation as the god of the sky); as the ruler of the seas, she's depicted as a woman with sea-green hair whose lower body is a pillar of roiling water. Being the god of the seas in one incarnation and of winds and storms in the other, Gozreh is worshipped by most people who make their living in or on the water, especially fishermen, merchants and sailors, and favors the trident as a weapon. While the cult of Gozreh is well-established and predominant in the continents of Avistan and Casmaron, the people of Tian Xia worship Hei Feng, the Duke of Thunder, the quick-tempered god of sea and storms. There's also Besmara, goddess of piracy and sea monsters. Ragadahn, one of the Eldest of the fey, is a deity of the sea, its depths and the monsters that live there, jealously guards the oceans of the First World, and has the fickle, temperamental and tempestuous nature common to these deities. Not surprisingly, most of his non-monstrous worshippers are sailors entreating him to keep his wrath and servants at bay. Ocean giants embody a non-divine version of this, being blue-skinned rulers of the seas who, depending on personal inclination, may be either benevolent if moody wardens of the undersea world who protect their charges from lofty coral towers or malevolent destroyers who force their will on the people of the sea and send storm and monsters to destroy any ship that crosses their territory. |

Dungeons & Dragons: In Oriental Adventures, the ruler of the Sea Spirit Folk is the Lord of the Sea. He is the greatest of all of the spirit folk lords and takes the most interest in his people. When a sea spirit folk character raises his Honor to 85, the Lord of the Sea will bestow a gift on him. In the Forgotten Realms, the oceans are part of the domain of Umberlee, a goddess also known as the "Bitch Queen of the Depths". She is a chaotic and destructive deity who causes storms, sinks ships and drowns people on a whim, and her worshipers often run protection rackets, charging a fee to ship captains in exchange for protection from their goddess' wrath. |

Tui and La, Spirits of the Moon and Ocean in Avatar: The Last Airbender are the personifications of their namesakes and represent the eternal push and pull of the tides, having taken the form of two black and white koi fish within the Spirit Oasis in the North Pole. When Tui is killed by Zhao to rob the Waterbenders of their bending ability, La retaliates by fusing with Aang in the Avatar state to become a massive water spirit, rampaging across the North Pole and decimating the Fire Nation armada effortlessly. | |

Steven Universe: Lapis Lazuli is a gem (an artificially created Silicon-Based Sufficiently Advanced Alien) with a seemingly unlimited psychokinetic power over water. Even when weakened with a cracked gem, she had enough power to create a massive tower from the planet's oceans and creates water-based clones of the gems that the Gems themselves had no hope of stopping, Lapis Lazulis being made specifically for terraforming entire planets. Much like water-gods of most mythologies, Lapis Lazuli is hostile and prone to mood-swings, a product of being confused for a rebel by homeworld forces, trapped in a mirror for thousands of years, being held prisoner and used as an informant by Peridot and Jasper and being stuck in an incredibly toxic partnership with Jasper in the form of an unstable fusion trapped in the bottom of the ocean. Malachite is a fusion between Lapis Lazuli and quartz soldier Jasper. She has all of the powers of the two gems, possessing Lapis Lazuli's wings and water-powers and Jasper's strength, crash-helmet and spin-dash ability. With their animosity towards one another, Malachite resembles an ocean god know to create storms and creates hostility among mortals, lampshaded in "Super Watermelon Island" when the tribe of Watermelon Stevens living on mask island selects members of their tribe as sacrifices to appease her. |

Warhammer Fantasy Battle has several gods and powerful beings related to the sea: Manann (Mathlann to the elves) is the setting's principle god of the oceans, and his cult is widespread across the coasts of the Old World. He is said to be an incredibly fickle and temperamental deity, prone to giving his followers (who are all Superstitious Sailors by default) strange and often conflicting strictures related to sea travel. Anointed priests of Manann naturally gain several divine powers related to the sea and sea travel, such as the ability to breathe underwater, influence the speed of a ship, or attack by Making a Splash. Stromfels is an Evil Counterpart to Manann; the actively-malevolent god of ocean predators and other dangers of the sea. Worship of Stromfels is illegal within the Empire and the Wasteland, since those who do worship him are often pirates who prey upon merchant ships. Naturally, he is only openly venerated in Sartosa, an island nation ruled by pirates. While not a god in the strictest sense, there is an immense mer-giant known as Triton who inhabits the Warhammer world's seas. According to the elves, Triton is the last of an ancient race of demi-gods who ruled the ocean, battled primordial leviathans and taught elf-kind the secrets of safely travelling the Great Ocean. He even comes complete with gargantuan Prongs of Poseidon, which he uses to spear ships as a show of force. |

She is the wisest and most graceful of the gods and values diplomacy, versatility and adaptability, but also encourages swift and indomitable action when it is necessary. She is the Patron God of the ocean-dwelling Naga and of the Sea Elves, as well as being worshipped by sailors, fishermen, pirates, and hermits. | |

In Aquaria, the Creator is the Top God of the ocean, having created several minor gods who in turn created intelligent life before the Creator destroyed their civilizations. The Creator also made most of the fantastical sea life in the setting. He's the artist boy seen in the introduction, who fell into the sea and somehow gained godlike power over the oceans and all within them. He only created the other gods in an attempt to replace his dead family and drove them mad when they wanted no part in it. Everything else was him using the ocean as his canvas. | |

The Pacific Ocean in Moana is portrayed as a Genius Loci that selects specific people (like the titular Moana) for a specific purpose. While it does not actively act on its own interests, it does choose to help in subtle ways, leading the abandoned baby Maui to the gods and inspiring Moana to take up sailing, eventually leading to her people's return to wayfinding and the return of Te Fiti (and by extensions all of creation as we know it). | |

Wonder Woman: Poseidon is god of the sea, and occasionally manipulates portions of it such as in Volume 2 where he turned the water in the ocean around Themyscira into a Healing Spring, but normally is more subject to the sea than it is to him; after all King Arthur rules the sea and Poseidon is just a fading old god. In the Post-Crisis/Pre-Flashpoint continuity Poseidon usually manifested as a giant blue-green merman with a beard made of sea foam. In the New-52 Poseidon had the appearance of a Sea Monster Animalistic Abomination as a gigantic blue-green mashup of bits of different sea creatures.

A Song of Ice and Fire: The Drowned God is a god worshiped by the Ironborn of the Iron Islands. Their lore states that the Drowned God is said to have drowned in the sea, for the sake of the Ironborn, but returned to life "harder and stronger". He is said to be the mortal enemy of the Storm God, and encourages the Ironborn's Viking-esque lifestyle of piracy, battle and sailing. It is stated that those the Ironborn drown (a form of piety in their religion) are recruited as the God's oarsmen, and the Ironborn that have drowned are invited to the God's underwater halls where they are served upon by mermaids for all eternity. The Faceless Men of the Free City of Braavos believe that the Drowned God is but one of the many aliases (as, they believe, are all other gods associated with death) of their Many-Faced God of Death, and thus they keep an official effigy of the Drowned God (a statue made of driftwood in a humanoid shape) in their base at the House of Black and White. | |

Pokémon: Lugia has always been characterized as this, but bizarrely, it's a Psychic/Flying-type Pokemon instead of a Water-type. It lives within the ocean and acts as a mediator between Zapdos, Articuno, and Moltres, preventing one element from overcoming the others. It has the power to control the weather, calming or causing storms with the beating of its wings. Kyogre is a Water-type Pokemon native to the Hoenn Region with the ability to expand the oceans, acting as the equal-opposite of Groudon, a Ground-type Pokemon with the ability to expand the continents. |

Godzilla is sometimes presented this way in movies that emphasize his aquatic nature. Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) in particular leans on this characterization, showing Godzilla making his lair in the Underwater Ruins of an Eldritch Ocean Abyss. The four headliner kaiju of that movie form a loose Classical Elements Ensemble, with Godzilla himself representing water. |

In Genshin Impact, Focalors is the Hydro Archon known also as the God of Justice who rules over the nation of Fontaine, a nation known for a harsh legal system. Despite this, she's also described as incredibly fickle in nature by those familiar with her. | |

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: In the prison where Halbrand and Galadriel are temporary kept, there is a statue dedicated to the Maia Uinen, The lady of the Sea. In the books, she was held in reverence as equal to a Valar by the Numenorians, which is implied to be the same in the show. | |

In By the Sea, a "merfolk AU" where the Mandalorians and some others from Star Wars canon are merfolk, Sho'cye (literally "ocean" in Star Wars Legends canon Mando'a) is the Mandalorian people's chief deity. Unlike most sea deities, she is female, and is considered to be both a deity and the sea itself. The mercurial, inscrutable nature of the sea, the merfolks' entire world, also lends her to associations with fate and luck, which feature heavily in the themes of the main sequel, Currents and Tides. | |

Pirates of the Caribbean: Calypso (named after the nymph of Classical Mythology) is the Goddess of the Seas. In the days of myth and legend, the beautiful Calypso ruled the seas, and all sailors both loved and feared her, even though she too had mortal blood. As a heathen goddess, Calypso was able to take many forms, but since the crab was attributed as her symbol, she chose that form. One day, she fell in love with the human sailor Davy Jones, granting him authority over the Flying Dutchman and the role of Psychopomp to those who perished at sea. After she broke her promise to meet him ten years later, Davy Jones conspired against her, instructing the Pirate Lords how to entrap her into a mortal form as a way for mankind to gain control over the oceans. Calypso became the witch Tia Dalma and Davy Jones, in neglect of his duties, became a Cthulhumanoid and the pirate lore equivalent of the Devil. Interestingly, related materials refer to her as a daughter of the Titan Atlas (as per mythology), which implies (until the fifth film clears it up) that other Greco-Roman gods might also exist in the same universe. In Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, the MacGuffin of the film is the Trident of Poseidon, an artifact capable of breaking all curses within the borders of the oceans upon its destruction. This not only implies that Poseidon is real, but that he is arguably the most powerful being in the franchise, his power maintaining all of the magic associated with the Seven Seas. |

King Neptune shows up in a few SpongeBob SquarePants episodes, as well as the movie. He's a rather self-centered and short-tempered old man who wields vast magical powers through his trident. | |

Once Upon a Time: Ursula is portrayed as a Goddess of the Sea, worshiped by human and merfolk alike within the Enchanted Forest, the other Ursula of the series having been named after her. When Regina takes on her likeness to trick Ariel into helping her capture Snow White, Ursula appears in the form of her statue coming to life and reaching through her magic mirror, and threatens to kill her if she ever tries using her name like that again. Whether or not she is associated with the Greco-Roman Gods featured in the franchise is currently unknown. While it is never made clear if King Poseidon introduced in the Season Four episode "Poor Unfortunate Souls" is the actual Poseidon of Greek Mythology, he willfully named his daughter after the actual Goddess of the Sea, implying that he was named after the actual God. The fact that both Zeus and Hades are confirmed to exist, it is very likely that their middle-brother is real as well. |

Small Gods: The Sea Queen is the goddess of the sea. Worshiped by sailors, she is vindictive and causes storms to attack ships that disrespect her. One way to do so is by killing dolphins, who are her favorite species. For every dolphin killed, she demands a human killed in equal measure. | |
