They were updated to [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]] in the 3.5 [[Monster Manual]], and had an "Ecology of the Devourer" article that fleshed them out in [[Dragon Magazine]] #355. This stated that the first devourers were the followers of a [[githyanki]] general who rebelled against [[Vlaakith CLVII\|Vlaakith]]. They had their souls ripped out and their bodies left to drift in the Astral Plane. The general's corpse came into contact with a color pool to the [[Negative Energy Plane]], reanimating him. He then proceeded to reanimate his entire army.

	They then made it into [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]], once more appearing in the [[Monster Manual]]. This edition divided the Devourer into three different versions; the original devourer was now renamed the ''Spirit Devourer'', to contrast the ''Viscera Devourer'' (actually a conversion of the [[Mohrg]]), and a new, more powerful devourer called the ''Soulspike Devourer'', which has giant ribcage spears it can impale multiple souls on until it's ready to eat them.

[[File:4e Devourers.png|thumb|right|300px|4e devourers come in three different flavors of horrible.]]

'''Devourers''' are a species of [[undead]] from the various worlds of [[Dungeons & Dragons]]. They resemble enormous undead humanoids with a gaping hollow in the center of their chest; devourers are soul-eaters, and when a devourer has a soul imprisoned in its unearthly gullet, a tiny and tortured effigy of their victim appears inside the hollow in their chest, acting like a prisoner held in a cage. The first devourers appeared as a result of people dying on the [[Astral Plane]] and then somehow reviving, but they have since spread across the planes; [[Orcus]] finds them particularly appealing.

==Publication History==
Devourers first appeared in the [[Planescape]] Monstrous Compendium Appendix III for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 2nd edition.

They were updated to [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]] in the 3.5 [[Monster Manual]], and had an "Ecology of the Devourer" article that fleshed them out in [[Dragon Magazine]] #355.

They then made it into [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]], once more appearing in the [[Monster Manual]]. This edition divided the Devourer into three different versions; the original devourer was now renamed the ''Spirit Devourer'', to contrast the ''Viscera Devourer'' (actually a conversion of the [[Mohrg]]), and a new, more powerful devourer called the ''Soulspike Devourer'', which has giant ribcage spears it can impale multiple souls on until it's ready to eat them.

In [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]], though, they didn't appear until Volo's Guide to Monsters.
