Some do, alot don't.The 'loths have in general blanket nonspecific, impersonal evil. Some of their unique members have plague and disease associated with them (Anthraxus, Bubonix, Cholerix, Typhus, etc) while others don't (Taba, Cerlic/Charon, Mydianchlarus, Helekanalaith, Daru Ib Shamiq, etc) Rip came up with the idea that Mydianchlarus was obsessed with anonymity, which was something that he lost when he toppled Anthraxus and became Oinoloth, and it's an idea that I like. But there's no official answer here.For my own purposes I've come up with a group of 13 Baernaloths who serve as the 'advisors' (desired or not) to the most powerful Ultroloths and unique 'loths, and each of them has a specific 'portfolio' if you will, along with a specific physical defect. But it's somewhat vague, and they haven't staked down a portfolio in specific like a deity might.None of them are true deities, and 'loths abhor the very idea of deities, so they're not interested in gaining portfolios or worshippers in that sense. They're just interesting the manipulating the Blood War and supporting the universal spread of pure, neutral evil, untainted by law or chaos. Any way that will gather those ends they'll use.2b) For the most part they don't have any specific mortal servants, and largely they're unconcerned with mortals beyond making them puppets and tools. The great part about corrupting mortals for the Abyss and Baator is that you can snag souls/petitioners which you can use to make more Tanar'ri or Baatezu, except that Yugoloths don't have any direct link to petitioners, most of them spawn directly from the raw stuff of the the Waste, Gehenna, and possibly Carceri. They don't need to have any specific groups or races, because the end product of that servitude isn't really all that useful to them.They aren't choosy though, and the 'loths will dig their claws into anyone if it serves their purposes. Mortal wizards seeking knowledge are likely a particular delicacy for the arcanaloths of the tower arcane, since they as a subrace of 'loths effectively embody the idea of the abuse of sorcery to selfish ends.And if you were looking for non mortal servants, well, you could make an argument for the Tanar'ri and Baatezu being at times unwilling pawns. But that's getting a bit beyond the scope of the original question.</blockquote>
