The '''Catachan Devil''' is a creature native to the [[Death World]] of [[Catachan]], but has been introduced into several other worlds. Devils are are massive, brutal killing machines that are scorpion-like in appearance, with a series of segmented body sections carrying pairs of legs and a terminus in a long tail with a poisonous barb, which curves forward over the creature's back. As Catachan Devils grow, they develop more and more mid-sections and pairs of legs. A fully grown adult can have up to thirty sets of legs, and can reach up to thirty meters in length.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|5}}
The front legs of older male Devils become grossly enlarged, resembling scorpion claws. These mighty beasts are often dubbed ''''Fiddlers'''' in Catachan slang, and are quite rightly feared for their ferocity and raw power, being the deadliest of their kind. The head of Catachan Devil is small and pointed with green luminous eyes.{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|5}}
