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...

Demons vary in types and origins. I constantly brought up how types of Demons like Armanites were a biological species that was altered by the Abyss and became Demons, in much the same way that Githzerai are a biological species and not some mockery of a sentient species just because they live...

They can't have regional languages in the core books, it's too campaign specific, and they've rarely mattered in game since everyone is assumed to speak "Common" for some reason. No universal translator or things like translator microbes exist either even if they probably should exist especially...

I'm always interested in what these other sun obscuring objects are, leave things open to further story hooks, if such an act isn't the end of a campaign. I guess it could even temporarily planeshift something from another solar system to obscure the sun. With the eclipse being the wish of a...

It should also be mentioned that it's a NPC that's causing an eclipse, and they're the type who probably don't care about any consequences of the Wish that don't affect them. So some of the things like "flaws in the ritual" are certainly things that PCs could exploit in stopping them.

Definitely one of the first things I thought of in how the intentions of a Wish might be implemented.

One of my thoughts is that the wish could just transport everyone in a certain area to Shadowfell where there's a facsimile of the world with the moon permanently blocking the sun.

The rubber band snapping back could be the moon moving back to it's original course after spending an hour or so in it's position for an eclipse.

Yes, initially where the thought came from.

There are many types of Demons, at least 20 different types probably more than 30 different types. They come from many disparate origins too, some of them are spiritual expressions of chaos and evil, others are results of the corruption on living beings by the Abyss or powerful demons, or just...
