Divas, devas (avest. 𐬛𐬀𐬉𐬎𐬎𐬀 daēuua, daāua, daēva) - supernatural humanoid beings.

In various Indian religious and mythological traditions, under this name "Devas" it is customary to understand many supernatural beings, also called deities, gods or demigods. 

In Iranian mythology, devas are demonic entities. Folklore devas of the Iranian, Turkic, Armenian, Georgian, Dagestan peoples are giants covered with fur, with sharp claws on their hands and feet, with terrible faces. They are often very rich, because they own (manage, protect) the treasures of the earth — precious metals and stones. 

Devas often have a beast—like appearance, and sometimes several heads (up to a hundred heads - Georgian devas, for example, with an increase in the number of heads, their strength increases, and a new one grows in place of a chopped head), there are also cyclops-like ones. They like to kidnap girls.
