They often seem like the second class citizens of the lower planes, with demons and devils grabbing all the headlines...oh and when you do get round to the Daemon book would somebody please vorpalise that Mydianchlarus and bring back Anthraxus?Hey there Grover! <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=":)" />I think numbers of those 'invented' creatures were simply existing creatures under new names. I think Dreggals was another name for Barghests for instance.A lot of this hinges on the power fluctuations that happened between 1st and 2nd Edition. In 2nd Edition (certainly the early days) they kicked all the Demon Princes upstairs, removing them from the picture. Which made the likes of the Balors, Ultroloth and Pit Fiends the 'top dogs' you could encounter, so they became less henchman and more akin to the major villains calling the shots...the criminal masterminds you attest to below.I think you are failing to take into account that the fate of the multiverse was at stake, not some paltry feud between a Balor and a Pit Fiend. At such a measure of power even demon princes and daemon masters were but pawns in a larger game.</blockquote>
