Deviants

As a pre-human race having conquered and ruled Earth before the rise of humanity, the Deviants are considered to be among the Elder Races.

The Elder Race was a seemingly humanoid race that predated humanity, and was composed of numerous wizards. It has been speculated that the Elder Race proper is descended from Elderspawn (offspring of the Elder Gods). The Elder Race is listed among the Elder Races as a wider group, unlike the Elderspawn.

Some members of the Elder Race, including Thulsa Doom, worshiped Set.
