Iggwilv isn't a demon that I recall, just a very powerful human sorceress.

Aha, thought of an obscure one:
Lashan

Ex-ruler of scardale got turned into a lemure, IIRC.

I don't know what the canon fate for Lashan was, but according to Ed Greenwood he became a larva, which isn't a demon.


Urdlen isn't a demon, just an evil god who lives in the Abyss.


Hrm...since I haven't read the novel Shadowborn I can't comment on whether or not Ebonbane really is a nalfeshnee or not (or about the whole bit with the Shadowborn family coming from Greyhawk).

Tenser...

That was from Return of the Eight.

Also, Pinotage, Armies of the Abyss isn't a TSR/WotC source.

I just grabbed them all from a compiled list without checking to see exactly what the sources were. Turns out they weren't needed in any case. :)

Pinotage
 

There's also Silussa, the succubus from Queen of the Spiders.

Incidentally, Nalfeshnee, Marilith, and Balor were names of specific demons. I think they were first given as names for the species in the monster list (Dungeon Monsters by Level and Frequency at that Level) in the 1e Monster Manual II. From the monster summaries in the 1e DMG:

Type IV: (Bilwhr, Johud, Nalfeshnee)
Type V: (Aishapra, Kevokulli, Marilith, Rehnaremme)
Type VI: (Alzoll, Balor, Errtu, Ndulu [also mentioned in "Treasure Trove", Dragon #91, in the entry for Demonbane], Ter-soth, Wendonai). The 1e Monster Manual says "Balor is a Type VI Demon of largest size".
 

The following are Tanar'ri mentioned in the 2e Van Richten's Guide to Fiends:

Given their entrapped status, they might not be all that useful outside of the Demiplane of Dread, but here they are nonetheless.

Elsepeth - succubus trapped in Ravenloft
The Whistling Fiend - Babau trapped in Ravenloft
Malocchio - cambion trapped in Ravenloft
The Gentleman Caller - Incubus trapped in Ravenloft
Malistroi - Nalfeshnee trapped in Ravenloft
Baltoi -The Sleeping Beast - Maralith trapped in Ravenloft

These are off of the top of my head, and I'd contribute here with the fraggin avalanche of demons from Planescape except that for the simple volume of it all I'd literally have to go line by line through the books.

He was a dretch, right?

I think there was a nalfeshnee in there as well who used to be a name in Greyhawk (one of the artefacts in the 1e DMG had his name).

The Nalfeshnee was Tuerny of Tuerny's Iron Flask IIRC. Unfortunately I just skimmed it in the Barnes and Noble at the time and did not get it so I can't check.
