A person/people (often a god, although the occasional Mad Scientist or Evilutionary Biologist dabbles in this as well), that has/have created an entire place or species. Frequently in fantasy fiction, there are often several creators of the races that inhabit the world, and the ones who created them are often labeled as the Top God of the race's respective pantheon. The creator of the world or setting is often above these gods, someone who may in fact be the true Top God.
