Deviants are adorable creatures players can bring on their journey through the post-apocalyptic world of Once Human. Locating these creatures can be challenging, as they’re scattered across various regions of the map, concealed or awaiting discovery.
For those aiming to collect all the Deviants and make the best use of them, here’s a guide detailing the locations of each one in Once Human.
