D&D 5E Find Steed Celestial/Fiend/Fey question

[Grifter730]

The Find Steed spell mentions that the summoned creature becomes a celestial, fiend, or fey. I can't find any info regarding any of those types of creatures. Do they give any benefit other than being able to say "my warhorse is a fiend"?

No special benefits other than no longer being a beast. There are a few effects that target only beasts.

And a few spells that target fey, celestials, and fiends.

The rest is flavor.

There's a few effects that affect fey, a few that affect fiend, and a few that affect celestial, and a few that affect beasts.

But for the most part, there's no difference.

Are fiends automatically evil? My character is good, but has a pretty dark public persona. Having a fiendish warhorse would be awesome for his image, but definitely won't work if the horse becomes evil.

 

[jodyjohnson]

There are a number of wards that target fiends specifically.

In my game they'd be evil by nature. But just being 'fiend' subjects them to things that damage fiends so the alignment is mostly irrelevant (Detect Evil, Circle of Protection, Divine Smite, etc).

 

[gyor]

The Fiend, Celestial, and Fey keywords d not effect the creatures alignment so they will all be nuetral or unaligned or whatever beasts are.

Awesome. Thanks all!
