That's a rather silly circular argument. "Being chaotic means it is a chaotic feature means it is chaotic". Come on. The quote says "About 1 in 20 possesses a random chaos feature". Obviously being chaotic does not mean you automatically have a chaos feature. Theya re two *different* things. I'm not even sure what you're trying to prove by asking for chaos creatures without chaotic features. It seems unnecessary to the point you are trying to prove.

Which could be called the Devil? Don't get hung up on the coincidence of that name and its Judeo-Christian usage. In Glorantha the Devil is a big nasty chaos creature who was put under the Block. Again i don't see your problem. There is nothing "universal" about it. I don't remember any reference to the devil, even Orlanthi, citing it as the sole mover of chaos.
