Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kobold Avenger" data-source="post: 9606826" data-attributes="member: 779">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 something that was created by a Demon lord. They don't have one consistent origin, they're beings of chaos after all.So there's at least 5 ways to make a Demon:1. As souls in the afterlife of someone aligned with chaos and evil, starting from larvae or the lowest ranks like Manes, Dretches or Rutterkin who then advanced to higher ranks over the eons.2. Biologically, Demons can mate with each other and with other beings. Some have sexes like male and female, some aren't either and some happen to be both or something else. While some Demons might be spiritual expressions of malevolence or constructs which may be facsimiles of biological beings with functioning biology, others are much closer to living beings, and are more like the types of biological life that exists on Material Plane except they're the biological life of the Abyss. After there's species like Stench Kow from the Abyss which are related to Cows, and there are some species from the Abyss who are comparable to the Humanoids of the Material Plane.3. From living beings that have been corrupted by Demons or the Abyss itself. Some Demons have the ability to curse mortals and turn them into Demons.4. Spawned by the Abyss itself. All outer planes are sentient and have some degree of a consciousness, especially the Abyss with it's malevolent intentions. The plane itself will create Demons.5. Created by a Demon Lord or some powerful Demon or God. There's Demons like Retrievers which are constructs, Yochlol which Lolth created or special types of undead created by Orcus.</blockquote>
