In addition, the Neverborn are even more trapped than the Yozis; the Yozis (or at least portions of them) can be summoned, while the Neverborn are forever stuck in the Labyrinth. Demons, OTOH, can apparently leave the Abyss.They're similar, but they don't seem all that similar to me. The Greek gods overthrew the Titans, and trapped them in a prison -- that's the Primordials/Yozis clear inspiration, IMO. The devils-in-hell, OTOH, is (to me) clearly based on the stories of Lucifer rebelling and being cast down, with the added twists that Asmodeus slew a god, became a god himself, but still got cast down.The destruction-bent creatures have numerous inspirations -- plenty of myths about creatures trying to devour the sun & plunge the world into darkness, burn the earth, the Aztec's vision of the end of the world, etc. And there's even more literary sources -- heck, comics alone give us Darkseid, Thanos, those funky monsters from Dr. Strange that Dormammu fears, and more.PS: OTOH, if lesser devils are subdivisions of greater devils, who are themselves segments of still greater devils, and so forth, all bets are off. <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=":)" /></blockquote>
