Message: <blockquote data-quote="BOZ" data-source="post: 2658609" data-attributes="member: 1241">I went looking on the Dragon Archive CD, using the search term "Abyss," as well as each of the major demon lords by name.  I simply don't have the time in my life to look up the word "demon," but if anyone else could add to that, it would be swell.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Demonology Made Easy (#20): There's a cool picture of Orcus here.  Useful article, too.From the Sorcerer's Scroll (#23): The first appearance of the random demon generation table, which would later appear in the 1E DMG, and would later become the basis for the hordlings. From the Sorcerer's Scroll (#28): EGG gives some insight into how the demons, devils, and daemons relate to each other.Meeting Demogorgon (#36): <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Patron Demons (#42): The topic should be obvious from the title!Demons, Devils, and Spirits (#42): Hacamuli, a servant of Orcus appears.Creatures From Elsewhere (#47): Features the Sugo, originally created by Juiblex, but they turned against him and all things chaotic.Dragon's Bestiary (#54): The Incubus, the male counterpart to the succubus, is featured.Down-to-earth Divinity (#54): Ed Greenwood mentions a beast cult demigod named Repra, King of Serpents, based in the Abyss. (a google search suggests this being was destroyed by Sseth)But not least: The Humanoids (#63): Roger Moore's demihuman perspectives article series first presents the shoosuva.  Greyhawk's World (#64): The god Raxivort was once a mortal xvart became ruler of all xvarts and was granted much power by a demon (rumored to be Graz'zt). Leomund's Tiny Hut (#76): Hey, since the death master is returning in the Dragon Compendium, you have a potential for a crossover here when mentioning their master Orcus... Setting Saintly Standards (#79): St. Kargoth, King of the Death Knights, appears. Also St. Bane the Scourger, who killed Orcus' servant the witch-ghoul Khuul and nearly Orcus himself.Clerics Must be Deity-Bound (#85): The suggestion is made that Anubis probably hates Orcus, most likely due to portfolio conflicts.The Ecology Of The Ixitxachitl (#85): Since the evil rays serve Demogorgon, Orcus sends marine undead (such as lacedons) to oppose them.The Ecology of the Leucrotta (#91): Observers that have seen Kostchtchie say that he is often accompanied by leucrotta.The Goristro Revealed (#91): The first appearance of this demon, which later appeared in Planes of Chaos, and 3E's Manual of the Planes.Creature Catalog III (#101): Featuring the Tener, which is sometimes found on the Abyss.Bazaar of the Bizarre (#117): Features the Ring of Lolth, a minor artifact.#117: An answer to a trivia question: "Yeenoghu and Baphomet are currently at war (MMII, page 36)"The Dragon's Bestiary (#118): Features the Phoenix Spider, an inhabitant of the Abyss. The Uldra (#119): The uldra god Aslak once united with Moradin and Garl Glittergold to fight against Demogorgon and several major demon princes he had united with.A Touch of Evil (#126): Suggests that death knights are bound to Demogorgon, and that the ghast is powerful due to "continued exposure to the magical forces of the Abyss." Likewise, Orcus and Demogorgon are blamed for skeletal warriors, and Orcus claims vampires as his servants. Orcs Throw Spells, Too! (#141): Gnoll shamans of Yeenoghu are discussed. Dragon's Bestiary: Nonhuman Creatures With Human Form (#141): Features the Black Troll, a troll variant created by breeding with demons.Ecology of the Yuan-Ti (#151): includes info on a former god of the yuan-ti, turned demon lord.The Game Wizards (#165): Ah, the beginning of the end for the demons and devils. They had already been removed from AD&D with the advent of 2E, now with this review of Monstrous Compendium 8: The Outer Planes, (Jan 1991 - Planescape, as stated previously, debuted in 1994) we see the seeds for the Blood War, "baatezu," and "tanar'ri" as well as them being described as "races" of fiends for the first time. The archdemons and archdevils are removed from the picture entirely, and the demons and devils have been officially neutered until 3E is released.The Sociology of the Flind (#173): Yeenoghu is mentioned a number of time in the footnotes section.The Known World Grimoire (#196): The orcish Tribe of the Sea Plague have their patron as Oruguz (a.k.a.
