A dev is a Zoroastrian supernatural entity with disagreeable characteristics. In the Gathas, the oldest texts of the Zoroastrian canon, the devs are "gods that are rejected". This meaning is – subject to interpretation – perhaps also evident in the Old Persian "daiva inscription" of the 5th century BCE. In the Younger Avesta, the dev are divinities that promote chaos and disorder. In later tradition and folklore, the dēws are personifications of every imaginable evil.
