The Protodeviln (プロトデビルン, Pu-ro-to-de-bi-ru-nu) are a fictional race of ancient alien beings hailing from an adjoining sub-universe in the anime series Macross 7. They are the main antagonists in the show.
Though some appear humanoid (through possessing the body of other humanoid beings), and some bear resemblance of vampire-like elves, most are giant creatures with few human features, resembling demons.
In the MACROSS universe they were created by an ancient humanoid alien race called the Protoculture. The Protodeviln are responsible for the creation of the Supervision Army that has made war against the Zentradi since 500,000 years ago. This conflict caused the destruction of the Protoculture Stellar Republic.
In the anime series Macross 7 the Protodeviln also created a new Supervision Army called the Varauta Army to fight the Macross 7 colony fleet.
In real life the non-humanoid Protodeviln creatures were designed by mecha designer Miyatake Kazutaka of Studio Nue, while the humanoid types were designed by character designer Mikimoto Haruhiko.
