[QUOTE="Orius, post: 6129184, member: 8863"] Yeah, that's about as lame as dumping devils and demons in the first place because of the Satanic panic. YMMV, of course. I like the giff myself. I've done something similar myself in my background cosmology. Tharizdun originally greated the baerns back in the days of the Primordials as a way of dicking over everything the other Primordials were doing. But the baerns serve no one but themselves. Interesting article. I prefer the name yugoloth to daemon myself. The words demon and daemon are pronounced the same, so it doesn't do anything to help distinguish the two groups. Most of the 'loths aren't particularly memorable though, but I'd at least like to see them stick with the nycaloths, arcanaloths, and ultraloths, and mezzoloths if they need a fodder 'loth. They don't necessarily need to be in 5e's core though. Gehreleths are a meh for the most part, even in PS they weren't very relevant, except for the occasional shator that like to snark about the 'loths. The most interesting thing about them is how they can liquify themselves and occasionally hang out in bottles, put a gehreleth bottle in a treasure horde and let the players think it's a potion so hilarity can ensue. Anyway, 5e doesn't need to bother with them in core. [/QUOTE]
