Deities are gods, considered divine or sacred. The Oxford Dictionary of English defines deity as "a god or goddess (in a polytheistic religion)", or anything revered as divine. C. Scott Littleton defines a deity as "a being with powers greater than those of ordinary humans, but who interacts with humans, positively or negatively, in ways that carry humans to new levels of consciousness, beyond the grounded preoccupations of ordinary life".
Monster High[]
Generation 1[]
Casta Fierce and her brother Spelldon Cauldronello are the children of Circe and Posea Reef is the daughter of Poseidon. It's unknown if Poseidon in the Monster High canon was also the one who made a woman named Pasiphae fall in love with a bull, which resulted in the birth of Minotaur, Manny Taur's father.
C.A. Cupid was adopted by Eros, the Greek primordial god of procreation. He taught her the family business and gave her wings. As it was mentioned earlier, in diaries from EAH series, she describe Aphrodite as her ”aunt”, and also the other gods, like Athena, Poseidon, and Apollo, and Hermes as her ”cousin”. In diaries, she also mentions that she has an adopted mother and siblings. In the mythology Eros had only one wife - Psyche, and only one child - Hedone, but this was the type of Eros who was the son of Aphrodite, and since she is described as her aunt, it's unlikely that Psyche is C. A. Cupid's adopted mother, and that Hedone is her adopted siblings. The identity of the rest of her adopted family, besides Eros, is still unclear.
Zori Weatherbolt is a doll created in 2015 as a gift to Victoria Cartwright in cooperation with Make-A-Wish America. The doll was designed by Cartwright herself with help from the creative team behind Monster High and provided with matching fiction in the form of a bio and a script reading sometime before November 24, 2015. In the latter case, Cartwright provided the character's voice. She is the daughter of Zeus, according to her bio.
Egyptian gods and goddesses have not surpassed their religious status and have not been shown to exist in the franchise yet. By ancient Egyptian culture, the de Niles have the status of deities themselves as once-rulers of the Egyptian kingdom. In the Monster High series by Lisi Harrison it mentions Cleo praying to the goddess Hathor. One of Cleo de Nile's catchphrases is, "Oh my Ra!" Which is in reference to the Egyptian sun god Ra. And in the Monster High series by Lisi Harrison, Cleo catchphrase is "Oh my Geb!" (god of the Earth) The de Niles also have a pet cat named Bastet, a reference to the Egyptian goddess of cats and protection. In House Haunters, Cleo references Anubis and when she creates and manipulates sand she references Set.
The goddess Athena in Monster High generation 1 was the one who turned Medusa into a gorgon and turned Arachne into a spider. Why she turned Medusa into a gorgon is never stated in the Monster High franchise, but since Medusa's sisters exist in Monster High it could be that she was turned into a gorgon to be like her sisters. Arachne also was more likely to become a humanoid black widow spider rather than a regular spider given that her daughter Wydowna Spider who is an anthropomorphic black widow spider.
Monster High also references Cthulhu with smaller creatures similar to it throughout the series; if this means Cthulhu or any other deities from the Cthulhu mythos exist in the Monster High franchise unclear.
Generation 3[]
Hades Burns is Heath Burns' father, the Lord of the Underworld, and the former President and CEO of Underworld Inc. He is also the Greek God of the Dead. When he was born, Hades’ father, Cronus, ate him. After being freed many years later, and after his father was defeated, Hades became the Lord of the Underworld. Hades was responsible for and contributed to many evils in the world (including pimples, 24-hour news channels, and most notably global warming).
