Devourer



Devourers are aberrations that hail from the farthest reaches of the Shadowlands and feed on the energies they find. They crawl forth from the cracks between the realms, usually through glowing blue rifts, and have a voracious appetite for anima. No one knows where they came from, but it is theorized that they have their origins in the In-Between and that they flourish on several lost land masses there. The anima drought has fueled the devourers' relentless hunger, driving them to seek new sources, and all denizens of the Shadowlands see their recent boldness as a sign of the end times. Devourers are attracted to the scent of anima like moths to a flame. Anima they consume gains some strange properties, such as the ability to open rifts to the In-Between and "infest" objects, causing them to glow with energy. Devourer bodies contain a liquid that resembles blood but is heavily infused with anima.

Devourers can be found infesting several places in the Shadowlands, such as Everdawn Terrace in Bastion; the Sepulcher of Knowledge in Maldraxxus; the Elder Stand in Ardenweald; the Endmire, Catacombs of Regret, Banewood, Sanguine Depths, and even Castle Nathria in Revendreth; and the Sanctuary of Guidance, Estuary of Awakening, and Windswept Aerie in Korthia. They also infest the Shattered Grove, which is in an unspecified location.

Devourers exist in various types and levels of power throughout the In-Between. So far, five variants have been seen: giant-like worldeaters or goliaths, who can drain anima from an entire region within a matter of moments; a slightly smaller, hunched version referred to as gorgers or gluttons; small, flying insect-like creatures called mites or animites, two-legged, bestial maulers or scavengers; and levitating, humanoid controllers.
