Aasimar were human-based planetouched, native outsiders that had in their blood some good, otherworldly characteristics.

Greater Devil
Custom

Greater Devil

Greater devils in D&D 5e are Hell's mid-management. Think of them as military officers and elite troops. They're tougher than lesser devils, with some boasting raw power (Horned Devils) and others combining strength with strategy (Ice Devils). Pit Fiends are the top dogs, serving as lieutenants and brutal enforcers for the Archdevils. They're powerful but answer to a higher authority.

Infernal
Custom

Infernal

In D&D 5e, the fiery underworld is dominated by devils, lawful evil fiends who crave power and control. Organized in a strict hierarchy, they range from mischievous imps to terrifying Barlgura warriors. These cunning manipulators tempt mortals with bargains, using fire and dark magic to enforce their will as they strive for ultimate power in the infernal Nine Hells.

Demon Lord
Custom

Demon Lord

Demon lords represent the pinnacle of demonic power. These monstrous entities embody the chaotic evil inherent to the Abyss, a plane of madness and destruction. Each demon lord reigns supreme over a specific layer of the Abyss, shaping it to their will and wielding immense power that makes them the most formidable creatures. Their chaotic nature compels them to constantly scheme for more influence and wreak havoc, presenting a significant threat to the stability of the multiverse.

Lesser Demon
Custom

Lesser Demon

In Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition, a lesser demon is a weak but chaotic evil fiend originating from the Abyss, a plane of destruction and madness. They represent the most common type of demon encountered by adventurers. Lesser demons are often summoned by more powerful fiends or evil spellcasters to serve as cannon fodder or bolster their forces. They pose a minor threat on their own but can be dangerous in large numbers.

Greater Demon
Custom

Greater Demon

Greater demons in D&D 5e are terrifying creatures from the chaotic evil plane of the Abyss. Clocking in at a Challenge Rating of 5 or higher, they pose a serious threat to adventurers. Imagine monstrous Barlgura demon lords with four arms or serpentine Nalfeshnee with poisonous bites. Greater demons are unpredictable and crave destruction, making them nearly impossible to reason with. Their chaotic aura is corrupting, and facing them can leave a lasting mark on even the bravest adventurers.

Archdevil
Custom

Archdevil

Archdevils in D&D 5e are the big cheese in Hell. Like CEOs of fiery departments, they rule over their own layer of the Nine Hells, with only the ultimate boss, Asmodeus, above them. Each Archdevil is a super powerful fiend with their own schemes and ambitions. They might cooperate with or backstab each other, but they all have one thing in common: absolute power within their own infernal domain.

Lesser Devil
Custom

Lesser Devil

Lesser devils in D&D 5e are like the grunts of the infernal army. They're weak, come in various flavors with specific jobs (scouting, guarding, torturing), and are generally thrown at adventurers as the first wave of enemies. Think of them as the office assistants and security guards of Hell.

Couatl
Custom

Couatl

The Couatl is a good-guy giant winged serpent in D&D 5e. They can shapeshift, cast helpful spells for healing and support, and have natural magical attacks. Their minds are shielded from magic, making them tricky to spy on. While they can fight, they'd rather use smarts and magic to help adventurers on good quests or guard sacred places. If you're doing good stuff, you might get a visit from a Couatl with cryptic advice or a test of your heroism.

Deva
