The ability to have the traits of a Dev, a type of demonic ogre from Persian mythology - subtype of Demon Physiology and Ogre Physiology.
== Also Called ==
* Div Physiology
== Capabilities ==
Users of this power can take on the powers of the Dev (or are one) - these are vicious, evil-minded spirits from Persian mythology that take on the appearance of animalistic humans with large horns, boar-like fangs and deadly claws, though as prolific shapeshifters they may appear as anything they desire.
Devs are the natural enemies of the Peri, fairy-like beings from the same folklore, they are also ravenous devourers of human flesh and violent ogres who delight in cruelty.
Some Devs carry primitive weapons such as stones, others craft swords and armor for themselves while some still will master dark sorcery to torment victims.
All Devs are blamed from possession and insanity, they are also feared in some tales for living in the desert and turning victims into stone statues via a touch - Devs are nocturnal spirits and gain strength during the hours of night.
While all Devs are malevolent one Dev (known as White Dev) was also a guardian spirit who protected the Flower of Paradise.
