'''Yoba''' is an ancient guardian deity in ''[[Stardew Valley]]''. Yoba is referenced multiple times throughout the game by different characters. There is also a shrine to Yoba found in the lower right corner of [[Pierre's General Store]] where you occasionally will find different characters paying their respects to the deity.

If the player uses their [[Milk Pail]] near the base of the statue, the resulting action resembles the Christian way of praying.

The symbol of Yoba is the Anglo-Saxon rune called "[[Wikipedia:ear (rune)|ear]]" (ᛠ), which can mean "earth" or "grave." This could be taken to mean that the people of Pelican Town worship the Earth.

*There is an unimplemented popup dialog in the game that would trigger if the player attempted to use a teleport wand before charging it: ''"Nothing happens. Sandy said something about 'infusing it with the power of Yoba'."'' <ref name="wand" /> This wand was later implemented as the [[Return Scepter]], which doesn't require charging.

:''Before time there was only the endless golden light. The light called out to itself...'Yoba'. Yoba wanted more. Yoba swirled the golden light into a vortex. Yoba swirled and swirled until a hole formed in the eye of the vortex. From this hold sprung a seed. Yoba smoothed the golden light. Yoba smoothed and smoothed, and the light became soil. Into this soil, Yoba planted the seed. The seed sprouted, and behold! A vine sprung skyward, twisting and probing, casting a writhing shadow onto the golden void. After 11 days, the vine bore fruit. Yoba, with knowing wisdom, peeled the tough skin off the fruit and saw that the world was inside. And so that is how the world came to be.''
