Pibakam was the water deity and chief of the Mazde or left-handed Gods in ancient Bhaga society. Pibakam, who had a boundless appetite and thirst, was the bringer of drought and famine; veneration was focued on sating the god to prevent poor harvests or naturall disasters related to weather. Because of his prominence in agricultural outcomes, Pibakam's primary worshipers were farmers, but had an anagonistic relationship with most of the other deities (who he attempted to eat). The worst omen of Pibakam's presence was a sinkhole, which indicated that he was hungry enought to eat dirt. He was not often consulted in Bana divination, since he only knew of the souls that he had eaten, which were typically not reincarnated.

Although originally portrayed a kind of giant striding the earth and nearly omnipresent, Pibakam was later supplemented by demons and human followers in later traditions, who were respsonible for preparing his meals. He also became less fearsome and was often associated with matrimonial stability and the protector of married women, who prepared his favorite treats. Outbursts of desire from Pibakam were relegated to his michevious servents, who would trick farmers or the rain-bearing clouds to cause crop failures.
