Naming the Pit Fiend

[Aaron L]

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

"That was ballsy, Bob!"

Took me a little bit, but I finally got that


Yeah... I'm dumb sometimes.

Do we know the names of any individual pit fiends? I understand the 1e DMG only names the type VI demons: Alzoll, Balor, Errtu, Ndulu, Ter-soth, and Wendonai. I'm thinking there must have been a later supplement that provided a similar list for their infernal counterparts.

Where you will find names for individual Pit Fiends is in the 1E Monster Manual II. They've got a list of named devils, with * indicating pit fiends. (Although that was actually defined only in the original Dragon article and got snipped from the MMII notes.)

Do you know what issue?

I name all my pitt fiends Brad. And all of his damon friends get named Matt.

#75. I thought this info was in the 1e MMII as well, but I could be wrong. (I do remember that MMII transcribed the list of devils with some errors, omitting several.)

Never name anything you might have to eat down the road.

I am disturbed by that image.

Do we know the names of any individual pit fiends?

Planescape gave us quite a number of them.

The members of the Dark 8: Corin, Dagos, Baalzephon, Furcas, Pearza, Zapan, Zaebos, and Zimmimar. Cantrum was their 9th member before his assassination.

Lydzin - female pit fiend commandant of 'The Relentless' a mobile Baatezu fortress (Hellbound: The Blood War)

There are others, but off the top of my head I can't recall individual names. I'll check after work.

don't forget Alastor the Executioner.
