Deros

Deros (an abbreviation of Detrimental Robots) or abandonderos (portmanteau of abandoned + deros) are, according to the Shaver Mystery, a relict population of Titans that inhabit the ruins of abandoned underground cities, having extensive physical and mental deformities due to chronic exposure to solar disintegrant energy. They are described as aggressively hostile, sadistic agents, responsible for a global conspiracy involving the routine abduction of human beings for use as livestock for sexual and experimental purposes and as a food source.
