Cthulhu Wars
When can you Devolve in response to an enemy moving a Monster into your Area?
The designer answered this directly, and it matches the rulebook's between-Actions timing.

Only after the Action it responds to is complete. You cannot use it once an enemy Action is declared, and if you do not Devolve when the Monster arrives, you cannot wait and Devolve later when that enemy declares a Capture. You can Devolve after an earlier Action, such as after a Move and before the Battle. Screaming Dead is two Actions, so Devolve can come between them. Devolve is optional.
