warrior god

Divine combat figure

A warrior god is a deity associated with combat, battle, and military prowess in a religious or mythological tradition.

Most polytheistic pantheons include at least one: Mars in Roman religion, Ares in Greek, Thor in Norse.

The term also appears in fantasy fiction and video games, where characters may worship or embody such figures.

Figuratively, someone called a warrior god is being praised for exceptional fighting ability or competitive dominance: He played like a warrior god in the finals.
