The Devanu are terrifying, predatory creatures, standing at least 7 foot tall and towering over even the largest of the Fubarnii. Their strong claws propel them across the plains at huge speeds, with their powerful tails stretched behind them for balance. The Devanu have long been vilified by the Fubarnii as vicious, powerful hunters and pitiless killers. Legends tell that it is the Devanu who first forced the Fubarnii's ancestors to hide in the dark places, to dig tunnels and to fear the daylight. It is certainly true that the Devanu once ruled over most of Anyaral, enslaving the then-primitive Fubarnii.

But that was long ago, and many generations have passed. Dressed in scraps of armour scavenged from dead Fubarnii, or handed down through the generations the Devanu now scrape for survival around the edges of the Fubarnii Empire, driven from one clan's territories to the next. Individually they are still powerful and very dangerous, but even Devanu struggle when faced by the numerous Fubarnii.
