Div or dev (Classical Persian: دیو dēw; Iranian Persian: دیو dīv) (with the broader meaning of demons or fiends) are monstrous creatures of Middle Eastern lore and probably of Persian origin. They are a monotheistic reinterpretation of the Vedic deities (devas) who were later demonized in the Persian religion (see daeva).
