Layer 453: The Layer of Nerfus Roguous
This entire layer consists of a perfectly flan plain with twigs everywhere imposing -4 to move silently checks.

This plane is inhabited by walking ears.

Layer 238: The Gray
This plane is a infinite expanse of gray. Whenever you shout, it echoes ("LAME LAME lame lame lame lame lame").

Layer 617: Low Budget Layer
Everything on this layer looks normal, but it's all made of cardboard, and all the creatures are stand-up cutouts.

Layer 819: The Geriatric Layer
This later is populated by millions of fearsome creatures - the problem is they are all venerable, have 1 hp, and move so slowly that molasses drips faster.

Abyssal Layer 664 - Accounting, bureaucracy, records, and storage.

Although the chaotic realms of the Abyss have no real need for paperwork, for every important demon who doesn't want it, there's another who does. Here are kept all the records of titles, heritages, deals, and grants are kept. Anytime there are changes to the workings of the Abyss, if records are not sent, agents from this level go out and create a record of it and store it in the main city of the plane, Crimson Inkle.

This plan is inhabitied by a combination of never do wells and cowards. Typcially well placed demons who can't hack the normal job of their race: motivationless retreievers, succubi that aren't interested in sex, intelligent dretches, stupid mariliths, meek balors, and the like. Usually a dumping ground for those that cause trouble, are related to important figures but can't do what is expected of them, or those only ambitious enough to find a position that will make them work the least. Typically, they all do as little as possible and tend to ignore those around them (even if they do appear to be human adventurers from another plane). If threatened, they will usually surrender and if attacked they will flee.

However, although not on the martial side themselves, woe to those who piss them off. They do like their current status and will look after their own if anybody rocks the boat. A few rumors here, a couple of documents dug up and presented there, and the demons of other levels can find themselves on the march in their behalf. The demon lords who anger them may find that there is no clear record of which demons owe them allegience or if the proper amount of souls have been paid to them by their vassals. Knowledge about the Abyssal planes (and others) known only to the inhabitants of this plane will be lost to them. Important messages may get lost or delivered to the wrong demons. All sorts of things can happen if proper attention is not given to all that needless paperwork that the inhabitants of the other abyssal planes don't want to do by has been commanded to be done by somebody more powerful than them.

The plane is also the storage area for various bits of the other plans that the individual demons lords may want to remove but not detroy. The mountain range over there offend the current consort of the lord of the plane? Shuffle it off to the storage plane. Of course, only the inhabitants of the plane have a clear idea what is there and where it is located if any lord should want something there.

An infinate layer of a grassy field littered with rakes, so that whenever you took a step, you'd be sure to step on the tines of the rake, causing the shaft to fly up into your face for 1d6 damage.

You win the internet.

Layer #22: The Layer of Lost Socks, home to zillions of sock-stealing imps and their booty... which is mountains upon mountains of used, odd socks.

But that clashes with my theory of the extradimensional portal that opens up in dryers around the world due to excess static electricity. socks fall into the portal. Cosmic energies then turn the socks into coat hangers, and then the portal opens up in your closet and deposits them there.

I've always noticed that socks disappear from the dryer inversely proportionate to the coat hangers that seem to appear in my closets.
