No he was an actual devilsaur, born from another devilsaur (the first devilsaur, in fact) to the physical world:
Xibala was the first of the devilsaurs, and mother to the loa Rezan, mother to all that came after. Her bones remain far to the south of Zandalar.
Still, if we’re talking about living devilsaurs then i’d probably go for Oondasta i guess?
