These are created by a mix of drow and demon blood in some of the darker drow societies, and they are almost exclusively found in the Underdark. Draegloth - A 12-foot-tall, four-armed creature with sharp teeth, gray skin, and a silver-white stripe of hair running down its back.Armanite - The Mighty Nein fought a homebrew fiend with characteristics of an armanite.Shoosuva - A ten-foot-long skeletal creature, somewhat catlike and somewhat doglike, with large spined protrusions along its back and a long, scorpion-like tail with a foot-long hooked stinger at the end.Marilith - Appears like a woman with six arms carrying six different blades, and with a serpentine lower body.

Goristro - Hulking, furry creature with a turned-up, pug-like nose, forward-curving horns, and fists like battering rams.A balor carries a burning whip and an electrified sword. Balor - A huge, muscular fiend with large, red, leathery wings and two black horns its eyes and mouth exude incandescent heat, and its body heats the air around it to a scalding temperature.Unlike devils, demons don't have a strict hierarchy, but they do respect power, and the difficulty of summoning them depends on their Challenge Rating (CR), so this list is ordered by descending CR. Leaders of various levels of the Abyss are known as demon lords and a few of these are called Demon Princes.ĭemon lords approach close enough to divinity that they cannot cross the Divine Gate on their own, though sufficient mortal magic can summon them. The language of demons is, naturally, Abyssal. Their societies are inscrutable: twisting, crumbling, and rebuilding at a truly insane rate. Where devils are creatures of ordered tyranny, demons are savage and chaotic, driven by madness and hunger. In contrast to the Nine Hells, where mortals can conduct business (if mostly in the Iron City of Dis), few mortals visit the brutal demon-ruled Abyss.
