Her most major role is in [[Kemono Friends 3]], as a member of the [[BATTEN Japari-Dan]] team with [[Tasmanian Devil]] and [[Blackbuck]]. The team is also an idol unit comprised of their corresponding voice actresses. | ||
|appearance=Australian Devil's color palette is monochrome except her gloves and loafers which are brown. As the animal she's based on, she has irregular white patches on her tank top, her arm warmers and her hair. She wears a short circular skirt with pressed-in ridges, a pair of black thigh high socks and an apron which has a large pocket. She bears a bow attached to a collar that circle her neck. She long straight hair that reaches at least below the shoulder blades with part of it cut to about ears-length and a fringe slightly coiffed to the left just above her white eyepatch. She has brown, empty eyes befitting of a Friend that nearly went extinct; and judging by her facial expression, she seems nervous. She bears the tail and the ears of an Australian Devil. | |appearance=Australian Devil's color palette is monochrome except her gloves and loafers which are brown.

The date at which the tasmanian devil's mainland extinction occurred is also disputed, but is generally considered to be within the region of 6000-3000 years BP ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Before_Present before present]).

The cause of this extinction is similarly disputed, although a relatively common proposal attributes this to [[Dingo|Dingoes]]; this is usually justified by the date of their introduction and proliferation generally correlating with the extinction date of the mainland devil population, as well as those of other mainland-extinct or wholly-extinct animals such as the [[Thylacine]]. However, recent studies question the involvement of dingoes, and instead primarily pin the blame on climate change and/or the increasing indigenous human population.

|trivia=* Some fans have speculated that Australian Devil's eyepatch is a reference to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil_facial_tumour_disease DFTD (devil facial tumour disease)]. This would be an anachronism in relation to Australian Devil, as the disease was only first observed in the late 90s (however, assuming this reference was deliberate, it's possible it was purely included for awareness). | |trivia=* Some fans have speculated that Australian Devil's eyepatch is a reference to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil_facial_tumour_disease DFTD (devil facial tumour disease)].
