A person/people (often a god, although the occasional Mad Scientist or Evilutionary Biologist dabbles in this as well), that has/have created an entire place or species. Frequently in fantasy fiction, there are often several creators of the races that inhabit the world, and the ones who created them are often labeled as the Top God of the race's respective pantheon. The creator of the world or setting is often above these gods, someone who may in fact be the true Top God. A common subtype has a being that personally created the monsters of the setting, which is usually inspired by Echidna, who mothered so many of the monsters found throughout Greek Mythology to earn the title "Mother of Monsters." A Creation Myth often involves a character of this type, although what's made could have been created without the involvement of any being whatsoever. Some type of spontaneous generation, perhaps? See also The Power of Creation. Contrast Destroyer Deity (if the maker happens to be God, the destroyer deity is likely to be The Anti-God), though some gods may be enough of a multitasker that they combine both the creator and destroyer god roles. Don't confuse with Thank the Maker. For the comic book character, see The Maker. |

The four Lord Soul bearers from Dark Souls can be seen as this for the various forms of "life" that exist; Gwyn was the first of the Gods and physically sired many children, Nito was the first of the dead and presided over the fabric of death, the Witch of Izalith became the mother of Demonkind after she tried to make a new First Flame from her Lord Soul and became the Bed of Chaos, and the Furtive Pygmy was the first of both the Pygmies and Man, as his Dark Soul was divided up amongst those who would become the Pygmy Lords of the Ringed City and humans in the form of Humanity. | |

RWBY: The main plot takes place on Remnant, a world with a mysterious past that is known by only a few characters. The world was originally created by the "Brother Gods", twins who represent Light and Darkness and respectively created living things and forces of destruction. Together, they combined their powers to create humanity as their "final masterpiece". In Volume 9, the heroes learn of the Ever After, another world that was created by the Brothers. The Ever After is dominated by a great Tree, which controls the ability of the Afterans to reincarnate and communicates via an avatar known only as "the Blacksmith", who receives souls that have left their old lives and reforges them into their new lives in a process known as Ascension. While there, the heroes learn that the Ever After was created before Remnant, and that the Brother Gods were the Tree's very first creations. As a result, the Blacksmith tells the heroes that, as the creations of its own creations, the people of Remnant are as welcome to come to the Tree as the Afterans are. | |

Discworld has at least four: The Creator who began the entire universe (with an analog to a musical number), the being who built the actual Disc (on commission), the God of Evolution who designed most of the actual species (carefully ignoring the fact that by the definition of evolution, his job makes no sense), and the being who added the continent of XXXX to the Disc (he has a thing for kangaroos). Incidentally, Rincewind has, at least indirectly, interfered with all of these. The Science of Discworld also introduces the wizards of the Unseen University accidentally creating our universe as the side effect of a magical experiment, with particular mention going to the Dean for sticking his fingers in the Bigger on the Inside sphere and wiggling them, apparently causing the Big Bang. They didn't create the planets and life in the universe, though, and were quite puzzled as to where those came from, thinking there might be some gods lurking in the other universe after all. Dwarf mythology has an alternative creator in Tak who wrote the world into existence and created Dwarfs and Humans from a geode, then made the geode itself into the Trolls. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Greyhawk: A being called the Demiurge created the multiverse at the cost of his life. The poor being can't die, however, and is currently roaming the universe as the Undead Abomination Atropus, who's very much suffering a Fate Worse than Death. Forgotten Realms: The universe was created by Ao. Just the universe, nothing else. Then Selûne and Shar (Light and Darkness respectively) came along, and their daughter Chauntea made life. Io is the Maker for all dragons, including their gods. They may have also created the multiverse. |

The Disciples series lore has the angel Bethrezen create the world of Nevendaar, after being given the power to do so by the Highfather. Bethrezen also created the human race but then invited other gods to create more races and features. This includes Wotan, who created the dwarves, and the lovers Gallean and Solonielle, who created the elves and the merfolk. After being unjustly cast down (the other angels grew jealous and sabotaged his creation before the Highfather saw it) and sealed in Nevendaar's molten core, Bethrezen created the demons to help him escape and exact his revenge on the mortal races. Eventually, Solonielle would become the fleshless goddess Mortis and create the undead race. | |

In Kill Six Billion Demons, we have God, called YISUN, who is The Omnipresent. Thanks to the somewhat self-contradictory nature of Kill Six Billion Demons' cosmology and Creation Myth, Creation itself is either a separate entity from YISUN, who committed Holy Suicide and died in order to bring about a Creation that wasn't simply more of YISUN, or said Creation is YISUN's greatest lie and was actually just YISUN all along but is pretending not to be. YISUN is either the origin of everything, or is everything. Each of the Multiplicity, the Fantasy Pantheon of 777,777 gods that sprang forth from YISUN's possible death, also became the creator of their own universe/dimension/setting, which are all stories told by the gods shortly before they died and passed creation on to the four species of inheritors (of which humans are one). | |

The Elder Scrolls offers several deities who created "creation" itself and then created the mortal plane, Mundus. To note: Anu and Padomay. "Twin brothers" who are the Anthropomorphic Personifications of the primordial forces of "stasis/order/light" and "change/chaos/darkness", respectively. The series' primary Creation Myth states that their interplay in the great "void" of pre-creation led to creation itself. Creation, sometimes anthropomorphized as the female entity "Nir", favored Anu, which angered Padomay. Padomay killed Nir and shattered the twelve worlds she gave birth to. Anu then wounded Padomay, presuming him dead. Anu salvaged the pieces of the twelve worlds to create one world: Nirn. Padomay returned and wounded Anu, seeking to destroy Nirn. Anu then pulled Padomay and himself outside of time, ending Padomay's threat to creation "forever". From the intermingling of their spilled blood came the "et'Ada", or "original spirits", who would go on to become either the Aedra or the Daedra depending on their actions during creation. (Some myths state that the Aedra come from the mixed blood of Anu and Padomay, while the Daedra come purely from the blood of Padomay). One of these spirits, said to have been "begat" by Padomay, was Lorkhan (also known by many other names). Depending on the version of the myth, he convinced/tricked some of the other et'Ada into helping him create the mortal plane, known as Mundus. (The races of Mer, or Elves, generally believe this was a cruel trick that robbed their ancestors of their pre-creation divinity while the races of Men believe it was a good thing, releasing the spirits from eternal stasis.) Those et'Ada who sacrificed large parts of their being to create Mundus became known as the Aedra ("Our Ancestors" in Old Aldmeris), while those that did not participate became the Daedra ("Not Our Ancestors"). For his treachery, the Aedra "killed" Lorkhan and tore out his "divine center" (heart), which they cast down into the mortal world he helped to create. His spirit then wandered Mundus, occasionally taking physical mortal forms, known as "Shezarrines" after Lorkhan's Imperial name, Shezarr. The Aedra sacrificed a large portion of their divine power in order to create the mortal world. They were originally many in number, but only 8 survived the creation of Mundus. (And depending on the story, even they did not truly "survive," but they are dead and "dreaming they are alive.") These 8 are known as the "Divines" and would become the primary deities worshiped by the Church of the Divines. Their sacrifice has left them weak, and thus they prefer a lighter touch in dealing with the mortal world, most often acting through mortal agents and reserving direct Divine Intervention for only the most dire of circumstances, such as averting The End of the World as We Know It. |

Sword of Truth: The Creator is believed to have created everything, hence the name, at least by many in the New and Old Worlds. However, the protagonists come to view this as a metaphor for a creative force, not an entity, and either way no direct evidence for it is ever presented. Numerous characters, good or bad, claim to act in the Creator's name however. | |

Unsounded: It's generally agreed that the Four Gods created first the fantastic creatures of The Time of Myths, then the more orderly present-day reality and the Background Magic Field that arbitrates it. What became of them is a question of faith; one religion believes they're still actively involved In Mysterious Ways, but another holds that they were killed and replaced by a human. | |

Doctor Who: Davros is effectively this to the Daleks, directing the mutation of his own species the Kaleds (and then the wiping out of the rest of them). Being Absolute Xenophobes, their attitude toward even him is frequently contentious, which he's come to accept in his own twisted fashion ("you know how children get sometimes"). | |

In the Empath: The Luckiest Smurf series, the Smurfs believe in Father Time and Mother Nature being the creators of the universe... except for Tapper, who is a Christian and believes God is the sole Creator. Then there is the meta character Narrator, who sees "the creators of the stories" he appears in in this role. | |

Star Maker, by Olaf Stapledon, is a 1937 science fiction novel which broke new ground by exploring the concept in relationship to the size and scale of the known universe and the fact that most of the universe seems to consist of empty space with occasional blobs of flaming hydrogen. Which, in the story, turn out to be sentient. As were the nebulae the galaxies condensed from. | |

In the Myst universe, the race of D'ni believe in a god called "the Maker", who it is believed wrote everything into existence (as Rewriting Reality is a major theme). There's a recurring religious schism in their culture on whether they themselves count; that a linking book simply connects to an existing world is the majority view, but some believe the act of writing such a book creates a world. | |

In Terra Battle, the world is dying and you lead a band of adventurers to seek The Maker, who lives in the world's core, to save the world. Then halfway through you find out the true identity of the Maker: A gigantic, sentient, living spaceship called Animata. It burrows into planets, collect DNA from the living beings, then use them to create its own creatures. It sustains itself by absorbing life energy of its own creations, sometimes through a sacrifice. The reason why the world is dying is because Palpa, the sacrifice, has not been sacrificed yet, thus not providing it with any energy. | |

The creator god in Final Fantasy XIII is identified as the Maker. It turns out that the entire conflict between Pulse and Cocoon has been engineered by the fal'Cie in an attempt to summon him back to fix their mistakes. And by Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, the creator gods (both of them) are revealed to be the Living Weapons of the Top God, who immediately summons them in seconds after being pissed off too many times by his chosen disciples, making the fal'Cie's attempts at bringing back their maker a Shoot the Shaggy Dog story. Lightning reacts to this screwed-up twist by punching him to death. |

Doom Eternal has "the Father", a being that existed before anything else and would generate new realities around itself. This universe, Hell, and numerous other realms were created after the Father decided to try consciously building new realities instead of spontaneously generating them. The Father's true identity is Davoth... the Dark Lord of Hell. He turned evil after some of his creations betrayed him and sealed him away. | |

Babylon 5 has a number of religions, both human and alien, which include The Great Maker as a vaguely-defined deity (distinct from the real-world religions also present in the show). Most of them are monotheistic, although the Centauri add a whole pantheon of more specialized gods to the mix. | |
