The [[Red Terror]], a [[Ravener]] with a carapace the colour of blood, caused terror amongst the defenders of Devlan for twenty days.{{Fn|1b}} What became of the creature is unknown, though one ship fleeing from Devlan made an automated landing at [[Adri's Hope]] ominously dark and silent. The ship was investigated by the planet's inhabitants and found to be a blood-drenched abattoir. A Tyranid creature was suspected to have gotten aboard, though nothing was found within the ship. Three weeks later, Adri's Hope itself had also become a blood-soaked ruin. However, it remains unclear whether this beast of Adri's Hope is the Red Terror.{{Fn|1a}}

Devlan is one of several [[Warhammer 40,000]] characters and places whose name has been used for a [[Games Workshop]] paint shade, ''[[Devlan Mud]]''.
==Notes==
Page 22 of the [[Codex: Tyranids (5th Edition)]] says: 'mining worlds world'''s''' of Devlan' - in plural. But in all other sources Devlan is one and only planet - the a mining world and not 'a group of mining worlds'. Supposedly, in the single case of the plural, an error was made by the typesetters or authors of Tyranids Codex 5th Editionthe publication. This assumption is also confirmed by the fact that later it on in the same publication Devlan was again used as in singular , even in the same sentence of the text: 'Another dedicated merchant captain helped evacuate millions from the mining worlds of Devlan before it (!) was consumed'. If it were a group of worlds, it would obviously be written as "before THEY WERE '''''they were''' ''consumed").
