Rang is one of the named spirits of the air recorded by Evans-Pritchard among the Nuer. It is associated with giraffes and is said to have come to the Nuer from the Twic Dinka who neighbour them, one of several divinities of Dinka origin (as Deng and Buk also are) that were absorbed into Nuer religion during the long history of contact between the two peoples. The name corresponds to that of Garang, one of the great free-divinities of the Dinka described by Godfrey Lienhardt. Like the other divinities of the air, Rang is conceived as one of the children of God, a partial and subordinate manifestation of Kwoth, which makes itself known chiefly by seizing people and sending sickness that is answered with sacrifice.
