History[]
The Diluvials are characters from the 2000 AD strip Sláine. They were one of three root-races that evolved before humans. A large number of them were plucked from their time by the alien Cythrons to serve as soldiers.
Sláine and co. met a great number of Diluvials when they attacked Myrddin's castle, but they were only a little irksome as Sláine cut them down with ease. Many Diluvials were also sent to guard the Tomb of Grimnismal from any threats. Unfortunately for the Diluvials, that threat was Sláine.
Several Diluvials were also sent to assist the Dark El Elfric during his stay in Rome.
