Just making sure that this isn't a misunderstanding.Well, honestly, because most of the time the DM says "The Demon pounces through the door" when it is a demon. So, since they are telling me I don't need to guess. Also, while there are multiple different ape monsters, few of them are red and blue, which are not common colors for fur and flesh. Additionally, they can't cast spells. So, if I have a big red monkey chanting spells at me, chances are it isn't a common ape. They also tend to be surrounded by cultists, wearing the symbol of their patron. So, even if the big red monkey isn't casting spells, if it is a big red monkey in a room festooned with the symbols of Baphomet, Demon Lord of Beasts, chances are it isn't a normal monkey, and chances are that it isn't a devil. Fire can be demon or devil. Yugoloths use it too. Frankly, the only thing that doesn't use fire are celestials, which really should, because Fire has been divine for far far far longer than it has been seen as a force of wild and evil destruction. But let's cut to the chase, most times when you are fighting something above CR 7, the DM has prepped you for it. The DM doesn't just say "and a snake woman bursts out of the closet to attack you." A Marilith is a CR 16 general of demonic armies. She's surrounded by demons, and likely you are looking to stop her, not just stumbling over her with no idea what or who she is. Unless your DM is completely wasting their potential. Yes, information is valuable, but generally the DM is telling you the important stuff, like what the quest is.</blockquote>
