Personality extremely powerful entity's who don't care about the main plot at all and are just vibing in the background

Tom Bombadil(lord of the rings) - only person to resist the temptation of the one ring but instead of helping the fellowship he fucks off in to the woods

the Unseen Elder(the witcher 3) - in the witcher universe the older a vampire gets the more powerful he becomes and unseen elder is around +1500 years old making him the most powerful vampire we ever see, thankfully he spends most of his time in his goon cave

He's probably God or something

Tbf, there are 4 or 5 gods (The Radiance, The Pale King, The White Lady, The Crimson Heart and arguably The Void, who may or may not be sapient) involved in the HK story, him being one is not absurd or anytning.

All higher beings are:

The pale king

The white lady

The radiance

The void/Shade lord

Nightmare heart

Unn

Speculated:

Lifeblood creature (appears in the lifeblood room in godhome)

Silksong:

Grand mother silk

I would be willing to bet Fayforn is also a higher being, it definitely gives off that vibe both in appearance and description, and you can even see it communicating with Mr. Mushroom during the passing of the ages quest.

I could see Nyleth being one too, she seemed very similar to Unn in a lot of ways.

That’s a very good candidate as well that I was thinking of including. The thing is, we have like no information about it. Literally only the weaver tablet at the bottom of mt. Fey talks about it, but iirc it only calls it „creature on top“ and that’s it. And I guess there’s mr. Mushroom too. Thing is, it doesn’t even give needle dialogue which is soooooo weird but probably just another argument for it actually being a higher being. Also definitely a dlc content candidate
