プロトデビルン
[b]The Protodeviln[/b] (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 [[demon]]s. 

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]].
