Posting to add that the helmet snake god of fertility is called Busbel the Bearded Seed.

...yeah.

Just wait until a worm demon breaks loose from hell and comes along to impersonate him. Then the party will really get started.

Already the new version makes its mark! Dasėl the "honey bee worker" god of the sky. Makes more sense than most I guess.

kovest the coal of coloring was a deity occurring in the myths on the innocent hames. kovest was most often depicted as a male dwarf and associated with wealth and jewels.

i only looked him up after i noticed a bunch of my gold statues were depictions of him. its only the beginning of year 4 and im already at 3.5 BILLION created wealth and have about 370 gems after exporting a metric ton of them

oddly only my smithy workers (custom metal industry name) worship him...

i think im going to start encrusting his statues with gems now

EDIT: @tastysarus, i think kovest wins!

the two i kept from a now destroyed world:

zalstom keepercover the armored tower-shell of nourishing was a deity that occurs in the myths of the solitary crafts. zalstom was most often depicted as a female dwarf and was associated with fortresses

cenath mastermurders was a deity that occurs in the myths of the tall sling. cenath was most often depicted as a skeletal male dwarf and was associated with disease, blight, death, and war

zalstom isn't exciting, i just really like her name. keepercover the armored tower-shell of nourishing. quite a title, even for a god
sadly, cenath is just a skeletal dwarf, not something fun like a forgotten beast or fluffy wambler

A while ago I embarked on a sinister frozen volcano. My civ was apparently called the Sacrificial Tombs. Alright, cool. Their main diety? Momuz the fatal dead, who takes the form of a skeletal female dwarf and is associated with death and rebirth. So i decided to make it an undead "themed" fort, given the skeletal creatures, my civ's name, and their diety. I tried to build a temple to Momuz in hell, but unfortunately that led to too much !!FUN!!.

I want a fluffy wambler god. He would be the god of cute, fluffy, and slaying bronze collossi

You should build an altar to him and designate it as a dump.

I have a dwarf that worships 2 deities. Both take the form of a female dwarf, one is associated with "jewelry and minerals" and the other "wealth".

How can a lungfish look offended? I have a very cartoony anthropomorphized image in my head now.

I imagine it as something like this:

The item is a well designed image of Dakas die deity of jewels, depicted as a female dwarf.

Women...same everywhere, even in a dwarfen pantheon they just think of that diamond ring...
