Definition

A subgod is a term used in certain fictional or mythological contexts, typically referring to a being of lesser rank or power in the pantheon of gods, or an entity that is subordinate to a more powerful deity. It can also be a cultural or religious term used to denote a secondary deity or a lesser manifestation of a higher god. In modern usage, it is occasionally applied humorously to refer to a lesser or inadequate substitute for a deity or supernatural entity.
