Editing Tanar'ri (section)

==Types of Tanar'ri==
There are many types of Tanar'ri, one more terrible than the next. There is something of a degree of power that seperates the various demons, but this is not absolute. There are five categories that divide them however, and each group is more powerful than the ones below it.

Tanar'ri can ascend to a new form if they believe they have what it takes to do so (mainly based on how deadly it is) and can prove this to those around them. While ascending step by step though the ranks is the most common way to do this, particularly powerful or intelligent Tanar'ri can skip one or more forms.

Note that some of the demons in this list have not been officially classified and so we are just guessing which group they belong to.

===Least Tanar'ri===
*'''[[Mane]]s''': The lowest of the Tanar'ri and barely worth the name, Manes are a source of food and cannon fodder, herded at the enemy to tire them before the main forces strike. This is what a mortal becomes if they end up in the Abyss when they die, or depending on edition, the first form they take upon being promoted from Maggots, which are the forms that all petitioners take in the [[Lower Planes]].

*'''[[Dretch]]es''': Barely above the Manes, the Dretches are real Tanar'ri, albeit the lowest in rank. They suck up to the more powerful members of their race (pretty much all of them), and are treated as such in reply.

*'''[[Rutterkin]]''': Vicious and despised by all other Tanar'ri, the Rutterkin are the preferred targets of higher-ranking demons for harassment, torture and murder. In return a Rutterkin will attack anything that they think they can kill without much risk to them.

===Lesser Tanar'ri===
*'''[[Alu-fiend]]s''': The female child of a Succubus and a mortal, Alu-fiends can only be born into their rank. They are not physically powerful but they are powerful spellcasters and physically attractive, which makes them useful to the high-ups in the Abyss.

</gallery>
*'''[[Cambion]]s''': The opposite of their Alu-fiend sisters, Cambions are the children of a Tanar'ri and a female mortal. A major Cambion is born when the father is a Lesser or Greater Tanar'ri, while a True Tanar'ri sires a Baron or Marquise Cambion, who are significanlty more powerful than their lesser kin.

</gallery>
*'''[[Barlgura]]''' (also spelled '''Bar-Lgura'''): Gorilla-like (Orangutan-like in AD&D) Tanar'ri trained in guerilla warfare (yes, they really went for that pun), they are brutish, dumb, slow of mind and can casually rip your arm off. They get very annoyed when you call them "bar-igura", so please don't refer to them with sans-serif font. Pathfinder also has an orange gorilla demon, called a "baregara". Someone at Paizo must like to live dangerously.

*'''[[Jovoc]]''': A small black humanoid with red three-fingered claws.  Whenever one of them is damaged, non-Tanar'ri creatures within 30 feet also take damage, and they also heal from their injuries very quickly.
<gallery>
Jovoc.jpg

*'''[[Solamith]]''': A large obese demon with a transparent stomach filled with the faces of the other demons and petitioners it has eaten.  Their flesh is explosive, and they fight by tearing off pieces of their flesh and throwing them like bombs.

*'''[[Uridezu]]''' (also known as Rat-Fiends): Cowardly rat people with a paralyzing bite, command over rats, and the ability to teleport between planes, but not during combat.  They enjoy serving under a master, but because other demons abuse them they often are found serving mortal masters on the material plane.

===Greater Tanar'ri===
*'''[[Nabassu]]''' (Spelled '''Nabasu''' in Pathfinder): Gargoyle-shaped things serving as the heralds of the Abyss, seducing humanoids to the service of the Abyss. In 5e, they are outcast by even other demons, as they eat everyone's soul, even other demons'.

*'''[[Goristro]]''': 20' [[Minotaur|bullmen]] that serve as living siege engines to topple walls and crush enemies below their feet. Mentioned in the second Monster Manual which forgot to write them up, so they had to be written up in ''Dragon'' instead.

*'''[[Palrethee]]''': Demons who attempted to become balors and failed become palrethees as punishiment.  To further the humiliation, they often end up as subordinates to balors.  They are emaciated humanoids with bony wings whose bodies are constantly on fire.

<gallery>
Adaru 3e.jpg
</gallery>
*'''[[Lilitu]]''': A promoted form of a Succubus that infiltrates and corrupts churches by pretending to be [[cleric]]s.  They lose their wings but gain four tentacles with poison stingers.  They have several of the abilities as a cleric.  They are vulnerable to divine magic, but good spells and good magic items treat them as if they were good.  By hugging a humanoid, they can place a magical tattoo on them for 24 hours that charges them with chaotic energy and allows the lilitu to communicate with and observe them.
<gallery>

===True Tanar'ri===
*'''[[Vrock]]''': Humanoid vultures that serve as elite soldiers in the [[Blood War]].  Not sure why they are listed as true tanar'ri, as they are actually weaker than several of the demons in both the lesser and greater classes.

*'''[[Alkilith]]''': The Type III.5 Demon, if you will. Oozes that can corrupt anything and anyone with a mere touch. They don't fight in the Blood War, mainly for practical reasons on account of them being oozes. If they stretch themselves around a doorway or window, they can create a portal to the Abyss.
<gallery>

*'''[[Nalfeshnee]]''': The pig-ape judges of the Abyss. All petitioners that enter the Abyss pass by a Nalfeshnee who judges them based on their lives and appoints them a new form. At least sometimes: other times they hand out forms at random. They also determine who gets to be in charge of the armies and who gets to be promoted, demoted or removed from (as in: destroyed) its ranks.

*'''[[Marilith]]''': [[Lamia|Attractive women with the lower body of a snake]] and six arms, they are the tacticians of the Abyss. They have keen minds, anticipate what the forces of Law are going to do and act upon it, much to the rage of the Baatezu who cannot understand the plots of the Marilith.

*'''[[Balor]]''': The dreaded kings of the Abyss, Balors are the most powerful of the Tanar'ri aside from [[Demon Prince]]s and the rarely seen Klurichirs and Myrmyxicuses, serving as lords, generals and leaders, inspiring and threatening others into fighting for the cause. A mix of passion and reason, they are as intelligent and sharp as they are evil and chaotic. These are ''exactly'' the same as the [[Bloodthirster]] of Warhammer (since both are rip-offs of the Balrog from LotR), right down to the flaming whips and being literally made evil and chaos (or [[Chaos]]) with the big differences being that they use swords instead of axes, have magic and are made specifically of evil rather than rage. They like to eat doggies and beat up Pit Fiends in their spare time.

*'''[[Klurichir]]''':  The most powerful type of Tanar'ri besides [[Demon Prince]]s.  All other tanar'ri including balors are terrified of them.  They have skin the color of a frostbitten corpse, four arms, black spines covering their neck and back, red wings, a face like a cross between a orc and a mule, and a giant second mouth with a huge pair of extremely sharp mandibles on their abdomen.  They are the elite generals of the most powerful [[Demon Prince]]s and they usually only appear when their master wants to be absolutely sure that an important mission will be completed.
<gallery>

*'''[[Myrmyxicus]]''': Another Tanar'ri that beats the Balor in power.  They rule over the oceans of the Abyss.  It looks like an giant eel with a reptile skull for a face, six goat horns, four arms, six tentacles around its waist, and a lamprey-mouth on the end of its tail.

*'''[[Jarilith]]''': Demonic lions that like to hunt other demons.

*'''[[Kelvezu]]''': The infiltrators and assassins of the abyss.  Aside from the pink skin and poisonous fingernails, they appear almost exactly like a short human.
<gallery>
Kelvezu.jpg
</gallery>
*'''[[Sorrowsworn]]''': Demons that appear in places where many people have suffered loss.  They have an aura that causes feelings of loss in those around them.  They read the minds of their enemies and use that to determine the best way to torment them by reminding them of things that cause them to feel more loss.  A sorrowsworn demon is a large but skinny grey-skinned humanoid with black wings and a constantly frowning face. 4th Edition retconned their fluff, making them natives of the [[Shadowfell]] and not demons.
<gallery>

===Guardian Tanar'ri===
*'''[[Molydeus]]''': The only Tanar'ri within this rank, a Molydeus stands outside of the ranks of the other Tanar'ri. Each demon prince has but one, who acts as their 2nd in command. Each one wears a special amulet around its neck containing some of its lord's Demon essence, acting as a sort of demonic Phylactery.  In 4th edition, the Molydues instead originally were angels who were assigned to guard the shard of evil by [[Tharizdun]].  The doubts they had about their loyalty to Tharizdum allowed the shard's influence to split their minds and warp them into the two-headed monsters they are now.  How powerful a Molydeus is varies depending on the edition but they usually are slightly stronger or weaker than a Balor, except for 4th, which make them even stronger than a Klurichir.

===Spyder-Fiends===
These are a unique subrace of tanar'ri that appear in ''The Rod of Seven Parts'' as servants of the [[Queen of Chaos]] and [[Miska the Wolf-Spider]]. All of them have the body of a spider and the head of a wolf.

* '''Kakkuu''': The weakest and stupidest spyder-fiends.

===Ex-Tanar'ri===
Technically, ''all'' the devils on this page are ex-Tanar'ri as of 5th ed ''(rimshot)'', but this subsection is for entities who got written off the list before then.

*'''[[Shadow Fiend]]/Shadow Demon''': The [[Fiend Folio]] Shadow Demon was summarily taken off the Tanar'ri list because TSR were too lazy to give it a made up name like "Penumbrilith", and "shadow tanar'ri" just sounded too lazy. It slunk back by way of Ravenloft, MC Appendix; then Planescape of course. It was still Chaotic Evil, and still hung out at the Abyss.

*'''[[Blood Fiend]]''': A demon that became a vampire-like undead that drinks the blood of other fiends.  In 4th edition they are no longer undead and are a separate species from demons instead of being transformed demons, though they both originated as elementals.
<gallery>

===Generic and Unclassified Demons===
During second edition, demons were renamed Tanar'ri.  When third edition was released, they started calling them demons again and made Tanar'ri the word for the largest category of demons, with the rest being [[Loumara]] or [[Obyrith]], and a few random demons that don't fit into any of the three.  [[Dragon Magazine]] Issue #359 groups some of these demons into Servitors, demons created by gods like the yochlol, The Created, demons artificially created by less powerful beings like the quasit (even if the abyss has started forming them spontaneously like other demons), and Beasts, the abyss's equivalent of animals like the skulvyn.  Additionally, during fourth and fifth edition several new demons were added and were never categorized.  This list does not include monsters that were only demons in 4th edition, such as the various types of [[Yugoloth]]s.  We will list these demons here because we don't have anywhere else to put them.  This list is probably incomplete.

* '''[[Abyssal Chicken]]''': A very weak joke monster that looks almost nothing like a chicken aside from having the legs and flavor of one.  They grow like fruit from trees in the abyss.
<gallery>

* '''[[Abyssal Drake]]''': A failed attempt to create flying mounts for demon lords by breeding demons with dragons and wyverns.  Their breath deals fire and unholy damage at the same time.
<gallery>

</gallery>
* '''[[Abyssal Eviscerator]]''': Dumb four armed demons that fight by grabbing enemies and tearing their guts open.
<gallery>

</gallery>
* '''[[Abyssal Maw]]''': A demon consisting of a [[Xorn|giant vertical mouth with three eyes and several short clawed arms]].  In 5th edition it is said that their mouth leads directly to the belly of [[Yeenoghu]].
<gallery>
Maw 4e.jpg
</gallery>
* '''[[Abyssal Scavenger]]''': A quadrupedal demon with a vertical mouth.  These demons are individually very weak, but they are extremely dangerous to summon because they can multiply extremely fast if there are no other demons keeping their numbers in check, and they can form portals to the abyss when a large number of them are gathered in one place.
<gallery>
Abyssal scavenger.jpg
</gallery>
* '''[[Abyssal Skulker]]''': Sneaky but weak demons.  Looks very similar to the Abyssal Scavenger, probably because the scavenger recycled the design.
* '''[[Abyssal Ravager]]''':  A demonic hyena with a scorpion tail. In fifth edition this demon was combined with the [[Shoosuva]].
<gallery>

* '''[[Blood Demon]]''': Not to be confused with the blood fiend.  These mysterious demons are [[Slime|oozes]] made of blood that randomly appear in the abyss in swarms before vanishing again.  One theory is that they are the remains of an [[Obyrith]] lord killed by [[Tharizdun]] that are trying to reform.
<gallery>

* '''[[Bloodseep Demon]]''': Another four armed demon.  They can spray blood from their body that heals other demons and is poisonous to other creatures.
<gallery>

* '''[[Bonegouge Assassin]]''': Shadowy skeletons with big claws.  These demons are believed to have been created by [[Orcus]] by transforming mortal assassins.
<gallery>
Bonegouge assassin.jpg
</gallery>
* '''[[Clockwork Horror]]''': Demonic constructs, usually resembling spiders.  And they can multiply.  They killed the demon lord that created them and swarmed across the abyss before the demon lord [[Haagenti]] managed to get control over them.  They likely would have wiped out all organic life if he hadn't.
<gallery>

* '''[[Deathdrinker]]''': Extremely arrogant demons with an aura that harms the living and heals undead.
<gallery>
Deathdrinker 3e.jpg
</gallery>
* '''[[Demon Spawn]]''': The taint of the abyss sometimes causes mortals to give birth to demons.  Evil spellcasters and [[Hag]]s can also create them on purpose with dark magic.  They resemble their humanoid parents but with scary deformities.
<gallery>
Demon spawn.jpg
</gallery>
* '''[[Dust Demon]]''' Dust demons are formed from tribes of [[Djinn]]i who were transformed by the abyss into insane masses of living wind and debris.  A single dust demon is actually made up of many smaller dust wisps which are each the corrupted soul of a Djinn.  Theoretically it might be possible to transform a Dust Demon back into the Djinni it used to be by capturing a single wisp from it and healing it of its madness, then allowing it to return to the dust demon.
* '''Elemental Demons''': A family of demons that spawned from the shattered souls of Tanar'ri and Baatezu that were killed by the backlash of a powerful spell cast by a wizard to trap the pit fiend Balruhk the Invinsible as part of a deal with his political enemies while he was in the middle of a major battle.  The known types are Air, Ash, Earth, Fire, Ice, and Water.  Wild elemental demons act like little more than animals.  More powerful demons can force them into service but they are very unreliable.
* '''[[Evanissu]]''' (City Corruptor): These demon appear in corrupt cities and work to make them even worse them though a campaign of murder and terror, leading a gang of criminals and other urban monsters.
<gallery>
City corruptor.png
</gallery>
* '''[[Evistro]]''' (Carnage Demon): Muscular demons with bright red skin.  They become stronger when groups of them are close together, but they also have a tendency to attack their allies during combat.
<gallery>

* '''[[Ferrolith]]''': A [[Succubus]] that [[Wat|fell into a pool of molten iron]].  They gained iron-hard skin but lost their beauty.
<gallery>

</gallery>
* '''[[Fire Demon]]''' [[Awesome|Skeletal demons who are constantly on fire.]]  Comes in lesser and standard forms.
<gallery>
Fire demon.png
</gallery>
* '''[[Guardian Demon]]''': These tentacled monstrosities get their name from the fact that they are easy to magically bind into service as a guardians.  They come in two varieties, the weaker Abominations, and the powerful Soul Drinkers.
<gallery>

* '''[[Ghour]]''': Another [[Minotaur]]-like demon engineered by [[Baphomet]].  Weaker than goristros but still powerful.

<gallery>

</gallery>
* '''[[Jarrlak]]''': Icy horrors who kidnap people and encase them in ice while keeping them alive so they slowly die over decades in an icy torment.
<gallery>
Jarrlak.jpg
</gallery>
* '''[[Malgodemon]]''': A large and scary looking but not very smart demon that serves smarter creatures as thugs.  They are extremely greedy and can be easily bribed into turning on their current master.  Oddly, this creature is named similarly to the other demons that were [[Yugoloth]]s or daemons in editions other than 4th, and it is associated with [[Raavasta]], which is 4th edition's version of the arcanaloth, but there doesn't seem to be a yugoloth or daemon version of the malgodemon in other editions, unless it is in an obscure source.
<gallery>

</gallery>
* '''[[Mahataa]]''': Blind but very powerful demons made of mud.
<gallery>
Mahataa.jpg
</gallery>
* '''[[Nashrou]]''': Alien-looking demons with four legs and six arms, but no head, just a cluster of eyes where their twisted limbs all connect.  They are surprisingly weak and can be instantly killed by hitting them in the right place.
<gallery>
Nashrou 3e.webp

* '''[[Needle Demon]]''': Spiky demons that mind control people into thinking their allies have betrayed them.
* '''[[Neldrazu]]''': Yet another four armed demon.  At least these ones look a little different.

They ambush enemies while they are in combat with other demons and teleport away with the enemy to separate them from their group.

* '''[[Tlacatecolo]]''': Looking like a small emaciated [[owlbear]] (that can fly), already a bad sign. The Tlacatecolo delights by spraying mortals with its Plague Winds and watching the ones that survive the cold damage slowly succumb to exhaustion. The disease halts progression and can only be cured while the victim is in direct sunlight, which can be a problem (crippling if not death) if the party is in the Underdark or on a plane without a sun. They can also transform into a owl around the size of a man (becomes that's not suspicious).
