[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 9611350, member: 779"] 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 Humans. Barlgura as giant Orangutan like creatures probably could breed. Alkiliths are intelligent and malevolent oozes that are associated with Jubilex, if they reproduce it's probably by splitting into two like oozes do. High rank Demons like Glabrezu, Nalfeshnee, Mariliths and Balors mostly could breed, but aren't likely going to breed with those of their own kind as first of all they're quite rare on their own, and they'll have a child that's likely going to become a rival or enemy. They might breed with lower ranked Demons as the spawn produced by that will be something between the ranks of the parents, and probably some emaciated almost skeletal thing that becomes a Babau. More likely they'll mate with a mortal and have a Cambion as a child. The different varieties of Obyriths specifically don't come from reborn souls like the Tanar'ri (which most Demons are) do, they're Eldritch Evils from a time before there was mortals. They're dying out, and if there's new Obyriths produced it's probably a really rare once in a millennia event that's very mysterious in how it happened. [/QUOTE]
