Daeva

Actor Trivia 3

• Dean translates daeva as "demon of darkness".
• Unlike most demons, daevas do not possess hosts.
• "Basically, if there are any two breeds of demons, it's demons and their pit bulls. Demons possess people and they're fairly erudite and sophisticated, and I think that draws a nice comparison to our blue-collar heroes. Every so often they have more monstrous, pit bull animal-like demons at their disposal, like daevas, which are Zoroastrian demons of darkness. They're meant to be more savage, primal demons than our demons, which are more snotty and sophisticated." - John Shiban^{Supernatural The Official Companion Season 1, p. 115}
