Naming the Pit Fiend

Don't give me this Balzu, goggledarn, politically correct nonsense! In our group they will be called devils and demons until they pry the dice from my cold dead fingers!

I concur. And Daemons, too!


With that said, I like Cavaszu as a species name for the Pit Fiend.

I like baruthgon...

 

[diaglo]

servant or master.

as a devil they are lawful. so they follow a hierarchy. they are either servants to a ruler of one of the Hells or they are master of various minions/armies.

Following allong with the latin, I like Voragtzu, or with a little modification Vorgatzu.

Yeah, Vorgatzu.

 

[Thurbane]

Ultragon?

Grover. They're all named Grover.

Because there's nothing that'll make a creature of the netherworld more angry, nasty, spiteful, and generally mean than having an uninspiring name.

"Fear me! I am the great and powerful Grover!" The party laughs, of course. And then the fell beast rains wrath upon their heads

Actually, in a 12 year long game I played in, spanning from 1E through 3.5E, there was a pretty important Pit Fiend character. He made himself known to Tarragin the Red, a powerful wizard (my younger brother) and gave the wizard a name to summon him by. Not long after, Tarragin showed up with a new bodyguard. His eyes glowed red occasionally and he was very powerful.


His name was... Bob.



He became a recurring adversary after he broke free from Tarragin's influence. He never gave us his true name, just one he used, and we never had full power over him. (Although personally I took to calling him Baalzebob.)


Tarragin also had a pet monkey he kept in a cage and named Asmodeus. "Asmodeus, stop throwing your poo." He wanted to taunt Azzy into attacking. He was... eccentric.

 

[BOZ]

i am Bob. i am your DOOM.

What's politically correct about pit fiends using a different name amongst their own kind, especially given that all the other devils do?


glass.

Did Bob ever succeed at doing anything amazingly risky? You know, something prompting the inevitable remark:

"That was ballsy, Bob!"
