This Air Devil Family page is about the Nintendo DS release. For the Super Famicom release, see Shiren 1 SFC:Air Devil Family.
For the lore page, see Shiren:Air Devil Family.
The Air Devil (Japanese: エーテルデビル) Monster Family in 
Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer consists of:
- Air Devil (Japanese: エーテルデビル)
- Wraith Devil (Japanese: ファントムデビル)
- Mirage Devil (Japanese: ミラージュデビル)
- Astral Devil (Japanese: アストラルデビル)
When visible to the player, Air Devil family monsters appear as beings of spiraling smoke with what can be interpreted as a masked face. The color of the smoke and mask depends on the monster's level:
- 1 - pearl grey
- 2 - beige
- 3 - magma orange
- 4 - purple
There are also minute changes in the mask's eye color, though this is barely noticeable. When attacking, their smoke-like bodies morph into a tornado, hitting its target and coming back to their original position.
Monster Ability
Air devil monsters are Invisible to the player normally, unless wearing an Armband of Sight, eating a Herb of Sight, becoming a 
Because they are Floating-type monsters they are normally invulnerable to Traps, and can move over water and chasms.
Air Devil Family Monsters are similar to 
Effect when Sealed
When inflicted with the Sealed Status, Air Devil Family Monsters no longer can no longer fly over water or chasms, are no longer Invisible, and no longer reflect Staff magic. They are still normally immune to traps without reading a Super Trap Scroll.
Combat Strategy
Because the main AI of Air Devil Family Monsters isn't set to attack Shiren, they spend their time wandering and barely attack Shiren. Sometimes, the player may find that there is an entity blocking them in certain directions, or they are being attacked by "someone".
The player can either ignore this, and move in a different direction, or attack in random directions to find the Air Devil Family monster-this can be done in minimal turns with the use of a Razor Wind or a Weapon with that Rune.
Unless they are blocking a hallway, ignoring an Air Devil Monster is easy in practice as even a level 4 monster does only ~31 damage, and can lose interest in Shiren quickly, though it can be very frustrating when they continue attacking while concealed.
Alternatively, they can be defeated using items, such as thrown Gitan, Arrows or Scrolls.
Staves are not recommended to be used against Air Devil monsters for combat purposes. When a Staff is swung at an Air Devil monster, the resulting bolt will be reflected back at Shiren. However, when a Staff is thrown, the Air Devil monster will take the effect of the Staff.
Monster Type
Air Devils are also Ghost-type and Floating-type, meaning that they will take 200% damage from a weapon with a 
As a Ghost-type Monster, Air Devils will also take damage from healing Herbs and items when hit by them.
- Medicinal Herb will deal 25 damage
- Herb of Life will deal 50 damage
- Restorative Herb will deal 100 damage.
- A thrown Staff of Recovery or magic bolt from which (if not reflected back) will deal 50 damage.
Magic Reflection
Because Air Devil Family monsters will reflect any magic bolt sent from a Staff back at Shiren, this niche occurrence can potentially be used to apply effects to Shiren. Some Staves with beneficial results include:
- Staff of Happiness - will give Shiren 500 Experience for each bolt.
- Accelerating Staff - will increase Shiren's speed for a few turns.
- Staff of Postpone - will instantly teleport Shiren to the stairs, though the player will be Paralyzed for a few turns or until they are attacked by a monster.
- Staff of Recovery - will heal Shiren by 50 health points.
Meat Strategy
Because of their magic reflection ability, the options for obtaining Air Devil Family Monster Meat are more complex, and listed here in the order of most convenient to least:
- Defeat them with a Fusion Weapon or a Bufu's Cleaver.
- Successfully throw a Bufu's Staff at them.
- Successfully throw a Sealing Staff at them, then swing a Bufu's Staff with charges at them.
- Read a Super Trap Scroll so that they will be affected by traps, and while as a
Escaping
Eating Air Devil Meat will turn Shiren Invisible, and therefore will be able to search the floor undetected for the stairs to escape. As always, when Shiren is transformed, Traps will not be triggered and so Shiren can move throughout the floor without worry.
Attacking Undetected
Air Devil Family meat is extremely useful for occasions where there are many powerful enemies on a floor that the player wants to defeat but does not want to want to risk being killed, such as Monster Houses. As an Air Devil monster, the player is invisible and is, therefore, able to attack any monsters without being detected or attacked back. This is an ideal strategy for clearing out Monster Houses, as the items contained within that room will remain unscathed.
