In the modern world English is only the 3rd most spoken language, but it's more of a "common" language because for the 2 more spoken languages: one of them is mostly exclusive to just one country, and the other while spoken in many countries is mostly confined to one continent and the one...

What Demons can and can't breed is on a case-by-case basis for their types. Dretches and Manes being at the bottom of the ranks come from petitioners, so they probably can't as they likely lack a lot of identity to even have sexes or genders. Rutterkin might, as they might have been corrupted...

Chasme described as having orgies and mating in Pazrael/Pazuzu's realm and laying their eggs in corpses. There's breeding of Goristo, much like how Humans breed horses. There's a Nabassu described as a Nurse mother, who sends her children to prey on mortals. Nabassu can only mature by...

It's definitely a point I've being trying to make about Demons, is that they're creatures of chaos and don't necessarily follow the same rules for things such as meta-biology. But many of them are "biological" in many senses of the idea and concept. And of course biologically creating a Demon...

I'm going to go with celestial bodies are generally astrophysical ones based on the fact there's Spelljamming ships that go into Wildspace and can go to all those places, and that they're generally planets and moons and other things.

Named Marilith NPCs in Planescape 2e had the female indicator beside their name so it's not like they're gender less, some NPCs in PS got the "⊘" symbol for non-binary but it was never applied to any name Marilith NPC, but it was used for other creatures like Shadow Demons and at least a few...

So now you're insisting that because the art doesn't show it, it doesn't exist? Not counting those 1 line stat line summaries when they decided to give a brief overview of some place and mentioned someones gender as being female, despite the art only showing male examples of a species. And 5e...

I looked up the subject myself, Turkey Vultures which are the species of Vultures that most associate with what a Vulture looks like, aren't that distinguishable between male and female. They aren't like Parrots or Mallard Ducks in the ways you can tell the differences.

Many Demons appear like animals such as Vultures, Orangutans, Mosquitos and so on. Vultures do have different sexes, it's just less obvious to Human observers. If you saw a group of Vultures could you identify which Vultures are male or female? Neither would most artists who would draw...

With tidal waves as a result of a moon being moved, could that mean that terrors from the deep like Morkoths, Krakens and Aboleths awaken as a result? I guess that would be a thing especially if it's a wish from a villain who doesn't really care for the consequences.

You've spent most of your time arguing against the setting that fleshed out the Planes the most. The setting where it stated that not only do Demons have a biology, but that they also have multiple genders and that Demon genders (and sexes) are somewhat fluid.

In 5.5 it does, there's "Common Sign Language" in the PHB as something that you could learn.

It's definitely a 5.5 thing.

Alignment languages were fortunately forgotten past 1e. But there was a Fanon theory of alignment languages in 2e that they were really just based on languages of certain planar exemplars, like "Neutral" being based off of the Rilmani language or "Lawful Neutral" being based off the Modron...

Back to subject of Mariliths and genders. The deluxe 2e Planescape adventure module Hellbound: the Blood War has a comic book written by Jeff Grubb and illustrated by Robh Ruppel and Tony Diterlizzi about the romance that ended in tragedy between a male Cambion and a female Marilith. Though all...

As for the Armanite, they've consistently existed in every edition since 2e. 2e: Planes of Chaos, where they originally appeared as a Planescape supplement boxed set. 3e: Manual of Planes and Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss 4e: Demonomicon 5e: Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes and Monsters of...

You are wrong about that. The Positive Plane exists in 5e, I'm looking at the entry about that plane on page 208 of the 2024 DMG. It's different from 2e and 3e in that it's been separated from the Inner Planes as an all encompassing plane around the rest of the multiverse.

The funny thing about Sigil being the source of Common as a language, as that it's even more like London now because of that. If "Common" is something like English (despite being language #3 on our planet) and it having it's own dialect of Common that is very much like the Cockney rhyming slang...

The Marid in 5e looks feminine to me based on the clothing, even though she doesn't look anything like the 2e Marid. I don't like how Marid appear in 5e either, but at least their MM entry says they have varied appearances, which certainly leaves the room for appearing like the 2e one or the 5e...
