Message: <blockquote data-quote="MechaTarrasque" data-source="post: 9703330" data-attributes="member: 6801226">This is more demons than devils, but I have always thought the purpose of demon lords is to help mortals make parts of the Material Plane to be sufficiently like the Abyss to be easily absorbed into the Abyss, and it seems like if you fairly close to absorption, demons could just hop over.  In my setting, anything that changes the type of a creature damages the fabric of the universe (and thus easy to absorb), so I have assigned changes to different demon lords, usually along the lines of anything that changes a mortal (humanoid, fey, giant, dragon, or elemental) into an aberration, monstrosity, fiend, or undead having some trait of the demon lord (like a tentacle attack for Demogorgon [or a trait that implies more than one head], a gore attack for Baphomet, or web walking for Lolth) with a few more quirky ones like anything that changes a beast into an aberration, monstrosity, fiend, or undead feeding Yeenoghu, anyone making a deal to become a fiend benefiting Graz'zt, or if the being transformed was a cleric, paladin, druid, or similar NPC, that empowers Pazuzu (who is quality over quantity).  The Abyss has many sins, but stinginess isn't one of them, so multiple demon lords can benefit from one change.</blockquote>
