Deva

The Devas are twelve beast-type Digimon that served Zhuqiaomon in the Digimon Tamers series. They were based from a legend from Indian Buddhism of the twelve Devas or Yaksha generals who protected the Buddha of Medicine. Each Deva resembles a symbol of the Chinese zodiac. In Japan, they are called the "Shinsho" meaning "Godly Generals" ("Shin" means god or godly; "Sho" means a military general). Their Yaksha Generals are later combined with the concept of Chinese Zodiac Animals for some Asian regions.

The most distinguishing characteristic of the Devas are the three horns on their heads and their red eyes (with the exception of Makuramon). They tend to wear Chinese-styled battle armor suits. They are also only Ultimate level.

History
The Devas were created by Zhuqiaomon to search for Calumon, and according to Vajramon, to also conquer the Real World. The first nine Devas made their way into Tokyo, thanks to Yamaki's Juggernaut machine which malfunctioned and allowed the Devas to arrive. The Tamers and their Digimon managed to defeat the first eight of them, but the ninth, Makuramon, abducted Calumon which forced the gang to pursue them into the digital world, encountering the last three Devas. By the time they made their way to Zhuqiaomon, only Antylamon remained. However, she felt sympathy for Suzie, lost in the digital world, and renounced her master's belief that Digimon should wipe out humans. As punishment, she was stripped of her title and regressed to Lopmon for a time.
