Ranaq is an other dimensional being of great power. A master of illusion and deception. However, Ranaq could not exist on this plane of reality without a human host.
History
Ranaq, the Great Devourer, is a member of the pantheon of Great Beasts who were imprisoned long ago in their own dimension. Ranaq was able to break free at the beginning of the 20th century when a human, Zebediah Chase, forced a native mystic to breach the dimensional barrier. Ranaq then tricked Chase into becoming his new host. A time travelling contingent of Alpha Flight (Puck, Shaman, Snowbird, and the newest member, Talisman) kept Ranaq busy until a young man, Lucas Stang, shot Chase with a bullet which contained a magickal item which disrupts magic. He then buried the body and was told that he would live a hundred years until he would once again face Ranaq.[1]
After the 100 years passed an extremely elderly Lucas Stang faced Ranaq. Shaman and Elizabeth Twoyoungmen faced Ranaq in the form of Stang's great-granddaughter, Emily, and were able to beat him. They then travelled 100 years back in time where they faced Ranaq until Lucas Stang shot the host body with a magickal bullet.[2]Attributes
