+{{encyclopedia|Devas are the descendants of plane-touched aasimon.  They have feathery wings that may be vestigial or functional.  Movanic devas are the most frequently seen by mortals. Their milky skin and slender build distinguishes them from the dark and muscular monadic devas.  The latter are rarely encountered except in the inner planes. It is said they are able to breathe elements other than air.

 The new age devas are spirits or beings that contribute in the functioning of nature. The monadic and astral devas probably refer to devas of the respective monadic and astral planes. The movanic deva origin wasn't found. In ''D&D'', movanic devas are concerned with the mortal world, monadic devas with the ethereal and elemental planes, and astral devas with the astral and outer planes.
