3	->''"Guard us from the she-wolf and the wolf, and guard us from the thief, oh Night, and so be good for us to pass."''
4	-->-- A prayer to Ratri, the Hindu goddess of the night, in ''Literature/LordOfLight''.

6	Just as there are [[GodOfLight gods]] whose domain covers [[LightEmUp light]], [[ThePowerOfTheSun the sun]] and the day, there are gods who rule over the night, darkness, and shadows.
7
8	A God of Dark may be an example of DarkIsEvil, DarkIsNotEvil, or anything in between. Their relationship with a God of Light may be [[LightDarknessJuxtaposition adversarial]], but [[NightAndDayDuo in some cases they may have a relationship of in balance and harmony]], peacefully overseeing different parts of the cycle of day and night, and will often have a close relationship as equals. Either they themselves or their followers are likely capable of CastingAShadow.
9
10	It is also common for a God of Dark to be a GodOfTheMoon for obvious reasons, but they may also be separate deities. Other domains Gods of Dark may control are [[GodOfTheDead death]], [[GodOfChaos chaos]], [[ThePowerOfTheVoid inexistence]], [[DestroyerDeity destruction]] and [[GodOfEvil evil]].
11
12	Compare TheSacredDarkness, which describes cases where dark and its associated concepts are portrayed as benevolent, necessary or sacred. Good Gods of Darkness typically overlap with this trope, although malevolent ones do not.

Knull was born in the PrimordialChaos, the nothingness between the end of the Sixth Universe and the beginning of the Seventh Universe, [[OmnicidalManiac and he plans to return the universe back to how it was]]. Thanks to his birthplace he has vast control over the [[CastingAShadow Darkness]] and the very [[PowerOfTheVoid Void]] itself. He has created a number of entities and species of {{Living Shadow}}s, like Mister E, The Exolons, and most famously, the Symbiotes/Klyntar. His control over the Darkness is so vast that others with shadow powers are affected by his mere presence, such as [[ComicBook/CloakAndDaggerMarvelComics Cloak]] and [[ComicBook/TheSentry The Void.]]
23	* ''ComicBook/TheSandmanOverture'': Night is the AnthropomorphicPersonification of [[ThePowerOfTheVoid the emptiness that predates Creation]].

41	* ''Literature/TheInvisibleLifeOfAddieLaRue'': Addie's odyssey begins when she prays to the OldGods to save her from an arranged marriage she doesn't want. Unfortunately, she doesn't heed the warning she received from the village wise-woman: "''never'' pray to the gods who answer after dark."

77
78	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
79	* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'':
80	** ''TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms'': Shar is the goddess of darkness and loss, and is one of the most ancient [[GodOfEvil evil deities]] in the Faerûnian pantheon. She is often at odds with [[CainAndAbel her twin sister Selûne]], [[GodOfTheMoon the goddess of the moon.]]
81	** ''TabletopGame/{{Mystara}}'': The Immortal (deity, functionally speaking) Nyx is the Entropic Immortal of darkness, night, and the undead. She is also notably the only Immortal of Entropy who is ''not'' evil, although her goals [[BlueAndOrangeMorality would be horrifying]] to most people.
82	** ''TabletopGame/{{Eberron}}'': The Shadow is a member of the evil pantheon The Dark Six. He is associated with BlackMagic and corruption, and is believed to be the rejected LivingShadow of the god of magic and knowledge.
83	** ''TabletopGame/LaNotteEterna'': Garod is the LawfulEvil god of, among other things, darkness. He used to be a member of the ruling Triad of gods alongside Laon of the sun and Lanie of the moon.

84	* ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'':
85	** Black Butterfly is an [[CelestialParagonsAndArchangels Empyreal Lord]] associated with darkness, distance, and space. She appears as a dark humanoid silhouette [[CelestialBody gleaming with images of stars and nebulae]], and her personal realm is a quiet void whose physical surfaces are pockets of solid shadows.

90	* ''TabletopGame/{{Ponyfinder}}'': The Night Mare is a goddess of darkness and the night. She began as a monstrous deity embodying [[ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight the half-seen terrors in the shadows and the predators lurking outside the campfire's glow]], and bitterly opposed the Moon Princess, a protective lunar deity. In the modern day, she has become more associated with tyranny and control, and seeks to usurp her old enemy as the primary deity of nighttime and the moon.
91	* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'': The minor chaos god Obscuras has powers mainly based on shadows. He can even grant his followers the ability to see in the dark.
92	[[/folder]]
93
94	[[folder:Toys]]
95	* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'': Hasbro introduced the concept of the Thirteen, the SuperPrototype PhysicalGod creations of the Transformer creator-god Primus. Megatronus (also known as The Fallen) is described as "a warrior of darkness" and guardian of entropy. In the Aligned universe (i.e. the universe comprised of ''VideoGame/TransformersWarForCybertron'', ''VideoGame/TransformersFallOfCybertron'', ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' and ''WesternAnimation/TransformersRescueBots''), he's explicitly described as being created as a counterpoint to Prima, the first Prime and warrior of light. Because of this, the two don't get along, with Megatronus mockingly referring to Prima as, "old man". [[note]] They at least made peace after the death of Megatronus' lover Solus Prime and Megatronus' subsequent wish to go into exile, when Prima offered him a starship and hoped he'd be able to find a way to honour Solus' memory. [[/note]]
96	** ''Creator/IDWPublishing's'' Transformers comics presented their version of the Thirteen as "merely" being powerful Cybertronians and instead introduced The Guiding Hand as their version of a Transformers pantheon. Mortilus, the grim and unsmiling one, was the Transformer god of death and darkness. According to myth, he sought to wage war on all life, forcing the other gods to destroy him and thus destroying death for the Transformers (in-universe, this is used by the religious-minded to explain why Transformers have such incredibly long lifespans).

98
99	[[folder:Video Games]]
100	* ''VideoGame/DarkParables'': The main antagonist of ''Requiem for the Forgotten Shadow'' is Shadow God, who is responsible for imprisoning the goddesses of the Moon and the Sun. He is the first male deity seen in the series and rules a dark alternate dimension known as the Shadow Realm. He used to be a neutral entity but is now a GodOfEvil. According to the Maiden Goddess, he is jealous of the bright mortal realm and feels compelled to destroy it.
101	* ''Franchise/DragonAge'': Among TheOldGods, seven (maybe actually eight) [[DragonsAreDivine Gods that take the shape of Dragons]], Lusacan is the God of Night. Also known as the Dragon of Night. He's also associated with the [[FictionalConstellations constellation]] known as Tenebrium, or "Shadow". Lusacan is one of the only two Old Gods that has not yet been corrupted into an Archdemon.
102	* ''VideoGame/DungeonCrawlStoneSoup'' features Dithmenos the Shadowed, who shrouds its followers' surroundings in darkness. As you gain favor, you gain additional shadowy abilities, such as the ability to [[ShadowWalker step into the shadows of other creatures]], [[SmokeOut bleed smoke when injured]], allow your shadow to copy your attacks, and eventually turn yourself into a LivingShadow.
103	* ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'': Some deities can be generated with the spheres coding for darkness.
104	* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':
105	** Nocturnal is the [[OurGodsAreDifferent Daedric Prince]] of darkness and the night, and is also associated with thieves and luck. She is worshipped primarily by those who prefer to operate under the cover of darkness, mostly meaning criminals.
106	** [[TheAntiGod Padomay]] is the AnthropomorphicPersonification of change, chaos, and darkness. He is the [[CainAndAbel twin brother]] to [[GodOfGods Anu]], the personification of [[OrderVersusChaos stasis, order, and light]].
107	** Namira is the Daedric Prince whose sphere encompasses "The Ancient Darkness" alongside all things considered disgusting by mortals, and according to Khajiiti religious tradition, she is a piece of the Void that became self-aware after the birth of Lorkhaj.
108	* ''VideoGame/EverQuest'' and ''VideoGame/EverQuestII'': Luclin is the Goddess of Shadows, Secrets, and Seclusion. While the other deities quarreled amongst themselves to claim parts of Norrath for their own mortal creations, Luclin chose one of Norrath's moons all for herself and sealed the moon in a magic veil that only makes it visible to Norrath during the full-moon cycle. She doesn't want adventurers to live on her moon and intends on eventually kicking everyone out so just her Akhevan race can worship her in peace.
109	* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'':
110	** Zodiark is the being the Ascians worship as the "One True God", with command over the power of darkness in contrast to Hydaelyn's light. All of the Ascians' actions are performed in service of reviving him so he can strike down Hydaelyn once and for all. [[spoiler:Except, the truth is not that simple. As a primal formed from the sacrifices and wishes of the ancients to save the star, Zodiark commands powers over the rejuvenation and creation of life itself, as activity is the domain of darkness. His powers were essential to rendering the planet inhabitable again after the destruction of the Final Days. Hydaelyn sundered him and the planet when it became clear that the ancients were planning on sacrificing "lesser" life to return to their "paradise" without addressing the cause of the Final Days.]]
111	** Tsukuyomi is a kami worshiped as a god of the moon in Far Eastern culture. However, as the god presiding over night, he possesses powers over darkness as well, such as eclipsing the sun and moon to enshroud an entire nation in night. [[spoiler:When Yotsuyu transforms herself into a primal modeled after Tsukuyomi, she declares her intent to spew forth darkness and drown Doma in eternal night.]]
112	** Invoked in the Eden questline. To correct the elemental imbalance preventing life from returning to the Empty, the heroes use the energies stored within Eden, the first sin eater, to summon primals that the Warrior then destroys to disperse the primal's aether back into the land. But since the energies of the Empty are too skewed toward Light, the heroes have to wrack their brains on summoning a corresponding primal when the only known darkness-aligned primal is [[spoiler:Zodiark, as the eldest and most powerful primal]]. They wind up deciding to summon a primal in the image of another powerful being aligned with Darkness, the first-rung voidsent known as the Cloud of Darkness.
113	* ''VideoGame/FlightRising'': Shadowbinder is the goddess of the shadow element and thus rules over the Shadow Flight. She is a large, dark purple [[DragonsAreDivine dragon deity]] who holds a strong rivalry with the goddess of the Light element, Lightweaver. Shadowbinder was created from the dark energies of the night while Lightweaver was formed from day, and both rule opposite sides of the ruins of an ancient civilization that seemed to have worshipped both the sun and moon(s)[[note]]Dragons can't agree on how many moons exist, and it's unknown if these ruins are dragon-made or belong to non-dragons[[/note]] if the names of the Sunportal and Moonportal are any indication, so they're the closest to SolarAndLunar deities for Sornieth.
114	* ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'': Several Primal Beasts (fittingly, those of the Dark element) have darkness as a side effect of their ''actual'' portfolio. For example, Celeste is the Primal Beast of death, and her presence is generally punctuated by the sky going dark. Similarly, while Lich is the Primal Beast of necromancy, part of her powers include inflicting various darkness-related status effects on her victims. While the Primal Beast Hades' portfolio isn't clear, upon being summoned he inflicts dark damage on enemies while granting the player's party improved Charge bar gain and is one of the most powerful of the Primal Beasts available to the player (thanks to boosting the effectiveness of any passive abilities granted by equipped weapons).
115	* ''VideoGame/{{Hades}}'': Nyx, often referred to as "Mother Night" and "Night Incarnate", is the primordial goddess and incarnation of darkness and the nighttime.
116	* ''VideoGame/HeroesOfMightAndMagic Ashan'': Malassa is one of the 6 [[DragonsAreDivine dragon-gods]] and the ElementalEmbodiment of darkness, in contrast to her brother Elrath the Dragon of light. She is believed to be the most intelligent of the dragon-gods, hoarding secrets and ThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow. Her worshippers include dark elves, {{Mad Oracle}}s, assassins, and those who dwell underground. Although many who do not worship her perceive her as a malevolent force, she appreciates those who recognize that [[DarkIsNotEvil "Darkness" and "Evil" are distinct from each other]], and she seems to believe in BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil, as she plays an important role in keeping Ashan safe from demons, but she has also sabotaged a plan by Elraths's servants, the angels, that would have left demons extinct.
117	* ''VideoGame/KidIcarus1986'': While Medusa was a gorgon in the myths, the games portray her as the Goddess of Darkness.
118	* ''VideoGame/RuneScape'': Zaros is the god of fate, control, and darkness. Though he himself is [[AboveGoodAndEvil neither good nor evil]], he has a shady reputation, as he allies himself with "[[DarkIsEvil dark creatures]]" and naturally subsumes the free will of people nearby. His aspect of divine dark isn't as prominent outside the contrast with his [[NightAndDayDuo light counterpart]] [[GodOfLight Seren]].
119	* ''VideoGame/{{Skylanders}}'': The Darkness is an EldritchAbomination serving as an EnigmaticEmpoweringEntity backing the [[EvilSorceror Dark Portal Master]] Kaos. In the first game, it plays a major role as the [[YinYangClash counterpart]] to the Core of Light, the congregation of Skylands' elements that kept it at bay until Kaos blew it up and let the Darkness take over the land, with the player encountering many spawns of the Darkness over the course of the game as enemies. It had a sparingly few mentions in later games, with ''Swap Force'' featuring [[PowerCrystal Petrified Darkness]] that transformed enemies into stronger and more evil versions of themselves and supplementary materials for ''Trap Team'' stating that the Darkness and [[CastingAShadow the Dark Element]] were one and the same until ''[=SuperChargers=]'' where it [[spoiler:reveals itself as [[ItCanThink a living being and an actively malevolent force]] by backstabbing Kaos and usurping him as the FinalBoss]]. As a primordial, immortal force of evil that has existed for countless [[{{Pun}} eons]], it's the closest thing the franchise had to a god until [[{{Precursors}} the Ancients]] and [[GodIsEvil Brain]] were introduced.
120	* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'': [[spoiler:Dharkon is the embodiment of darkness and chaos, and one of the two main antagonists of the game, the other being his [[GodOfLight light]] counterpart Galeem.]]
121	[[/folder]]
122
123	[[folder:Web Animation]]
124	* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': The setting's Creation Myth features a God of Light and a God of Darkness. The former is responsible for creating life (plants, water, animals) while the latter created the [[AnimalisticAbomination Grimm]]. When the two put aside their differences and formed a truce, they both created humanity.
125	[[/folder]]
126
127	[[folder:Webcomics]]
128	* Creator/AGnosis' [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greek myth]] comics include Nyx, the primordial goddess of night. She mostly relaxes in TheUnderworld, having little to do with mortals or most gods -- but as [[TheOlderImmortal one of the first beings in the universe]], ''everyone'' [[NeverMessWithGranny treads carefully around her]].
129	-->'''Nyx:''' "Night that bends to her sway both gods and men", as the poets say.
130	[[/folder]]
131
132	[[folder:Web Original]]
133	* ''Tales From The Gas Station'': The Dark God isn't so much ''evil'' as he is ''[[HeroWithAnFInGood inept]]''. He's even kind of upset when the protagonist calls him on his title, stating that a thousand years ago, the God of Darkness meant something quite different.
134	[[/folder]]
135
136	[[folder:Western Animation]]
137	* ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'': This is heavily implied to be the case with the demon Amook Munrah. He is never referred to as a god, but he draws his powers from the darkness (as well as fire), he loses them during the day (forcing him to be always on the move) and only other celestial beings (who eventually find a way to [[KillTheGod destroy him for good]]) have the power to keep him at bay.
138	* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'': Vaatu is the spirit of darkness and chaos, and the EvilCounterpart to Ravaa, the spirit of light and peace. Vaatu is one-half of the BigBadDuumvirate in season 2 and his main goal is to plunge the world into eternal darkness.
139	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': Princess Luna governs the night, while her sister Celestia governs the day. More so than with darkness itself, Luna is primarily associated with the moon and {{dream\|Weaver}}s.
140	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Villainous\|CartoonNetwork}}'': Black Hat is a [[TopGod Top]] GodOfEvil whose main domain is a dark depressing island (in the form of a black hat) with a black cloud (again, in a form of a black hat).
