Fiend
this wiki
A fiend is an evil creature from one of the Fiendish Planes. They are not just evil, but born of Evil; primal malevolence is one of the roots of their nature, and the evil essence of the fiendish planes permeates every part of their bodies.[1]
Types of Fiends
Edit
The tanar'ri and the baatezu hold an eternal enmity for one another as they wage the Blood War.[2]
DemonsEdit
Demons are chaotic evil fiends, native to the Abyss. Tanar'ri are the dominant species of demon, but there are a number of others.[3]
DevilsEdit
Devils are lawful evil in alignment and hail from the Nine Hells of Baator. The baatezu are the dominant species.[2]
YugolothsEdit
Also known as daemons.[4] They are neutral evil in alignment and inhabit the Blood Rift.[2]
DemodandsEdit
Also known as gehreleths, demodands are said to have been fashioned by one of the primal creations of Evil, exiled because of their chaotic taint.[5] They currently dwell in the Supreme Throne.[2]
