 * Spirits-certain populations on Mobius, most notably the inhabitants of Meropis, believe in the existence of protective spirits and regard them with great respect. Among those classed as spirits are Tikal and Chaos, and it is likely that Light Gaia is regarded in similar fashion. Individuals who are favored by these spirits are also treated with great respect, as seen in the case of Aquarius the Chao.

 * The Ancient and Neo Walkers-two groups of beings whose mastery of the Chaos Force and benevolent acts towards the inhabitants of Mobius. The Ancient Walkers were regarded by both adherents, such as the Brotherhood of Guardians, and foes, such as Mammoth Mogul, as being beyond ordinary beings. Their prophecies regarding such beings as the Chosen One and the Avatar were held as sacred by many of Mobius' people, and Knuckles the Echidna was worshiped as the Avatar following his return from the dead. Following their demise, the Neo Walkers took their places as Mobius' guardians, and were evidently held in similar reverence. Most notable amongst these beings, who are regarded as deities by some, is Aurora, who penned the Echidna Tomes which that race and others looked to for guidance. Worshipers of Aurora are known to have established place of worship known as Auroriums. Some Mobians also invoked the name of either group of Walkers as an oath. (CSE)
 * The Source of All-a sentient pool of the primal matter that composed the universe, it became the object of worship after being discovered by the House of Acorn. However, as time went on this system died off until it was largely confined to the royal family, and the Source was subsequently destroyed. (CSE)
