==Overview==

Devouring Earth are monsters bent on destruction. Created by a Godlike super-being known as the Hamidon, the Devouring Earth are a series of creatures based upon plants and Earth-like formations that are completely focused upon the destruction of human kind on the bidding of their creator. The legions of Devouring Earth spawn from plant like creatures to the Devoured, humans converted into grotesque monstrocities. The minions of the Devouring Earth use thorns, vines, stone, crystal and poisons to cause as much mayhem and destruction as they can, replacing the overtaken lands they dominate with organic extensions, trees and other forms of forestry and earth. The most fearsome of the Devouring Earth soldiers are the Devoured, humans mutated from their 'festering' human forms and spliced into the eco-terrorizing monsters that the Hamidon envisions as the true inhabitants of the Earth.
The Hamidon itself is protected by its greatest minions, giant monsters that patrol the Hamidon's lair of 'Eden', destroying anything and everything that potentially poses a threat to their master.

In the hero zones you can find levels 25-27 in [[Talos Island]], [[Independence Port]] and [[Terra Volta]]. Up to level 40 can be found in [[Founders' Falls]], [[Croatoa]], [[Crey's Folly]] and all over [[Eden]]. In [[Peregrine Island]] you can find levels 41-43 on the southern docks and levels 48-50 on the northern islands. They are all over [[The Hive]] at levels 48 and above.

==Enemy Types==

===Underlings===

====The Swarm====
[[Image:Swarm1.jpg|125px|thumb|left|Swarm]]

These nettlesome swarms are sometimes encountered in groups, though they can also be summoned by other Devouring Earth creatures. They are highly resistant to smashing and lethal attacks, but these flying hordes don't fare well when confronted with fire or energy based assaults.

===Pets===

'''Note:''' Unlike similar effects found on enemies in other factions, the four Devouring Earth pets do not buff all allies. DE pets only buff Devouring Earth allies. Thus, other enemy factions will not receive a buff if they are within the AoE. A confused DE pet also won't buff you and your teammates, although it will stop buffing other DE. Furthermore, the DE pets do not buff themselves or other DE pets of the same kind, though different kinds do buff each other.

Defeat 500 of these Eminators to earn the [[Protectorate Badge]] (CoH) or [[Devourer of Earth Badge]] (CoV).

====Cairn====

====Lesser Devoured====
The Devoured were once normal human beings, but they have since been transformed into horrifying creatures. Their bodies have been mutated grotesquely, and even their brains have been perverted into believing the radical environmental precepts of the Devouring Earth. In combat they show their hatred for the world of men by spitting poison at their foes.

====Devouring Swarm====
These nettlesome swarms are sometimes encountered in groups, though they can also be summoned by other Devouring Earth creatures. They are highly resistant to smashing and lethal attacks, but these flying hordes don't fare well when confronted with fire or energy based assaults.
