Shaitan was originally the Fremen term for a powerful embodiment of evil, such as the devil or a demon. Not surprisingly the term was usually spoken in a tone of fear and disgust. To a lesser extent, it was also a name given to the sandworms of Arrakis, certainly less so than Shai-Hulud. Later the term was adopted by the Rakian Priesthood to describe the transformation of Leto Atreides II into sandworms. In this context the term became tied to the concept of the Divided God, and was used with reverence.

- The shaitan (pronounced shy-TAWN) are a race of genies from the Elemental Plane of Earth
- Shaitan is the title of the semi-official leader of the Baali. Numerous members of the bloodline have assumed the mantle of Shaitan over the centuries.
- Once an Elder God who fought in the Chaos Wars in the beginning of time with His dreadlords, Shaitan spent nearly two centuries joined with the god Apollyon in the form of Sartan, God of Evil, in a metaphysical union that only another Divine could truly comprehend.

| - Shaitan was originally the Fremen term for a powerful embodiment of evil, such as the devil or a demon. Not surprisingly the term was usually spoken in a tone of fear and disgust. To a lesser extent, it was also a name given to the sandworms of Arrakis, certainly less so than Shai-Hulud. Later the term was adopted by the Rakian Priesthood to describe the transformation of Leto Atreides II into sandworms. In this context the term became tied to the concept of the Divided God, and was used with reverence.
- Once an Elder God who fought in the Chaos Wars in the beginning of time with His dreadlords, Shaitan spent nearly two centuries joined with the god Apollyon in the form of Sartan, God of Evil, in a metaphysical union that only another Divine could truly comprehend. Returned to His former self, albeit changed in mysterious ways, Shaitan has taken on the title of the God of Oppression. The savage face of Evil takes full manifestation in Shaitan, who seeks to quench His bloodlust on any who stand against Him. He is contemptuous of less than direct methods in His pursuit of greatness, preferring raw power over deviousness: an axe to the throat over parleying with words. Domination over the weak and advancement of the flesh and spirit, at whatever cost, are His. Between He and the Suffering One, the Seven Truths of Evil are upheld. A fierce and primeval God, Shaitan favours warriors, exulting in the carnage of the battlefield and ruthless slaughter. Those who seek Him must be prepared for a demanding and pitiless Master indeed. One who is not utterly devoted to the path of domination over the weak and advancement of the flesh and spirit would do well to avoid the path of this Horned God.
