The heirarchy and order allows them to coordinate their actions, whether defending a dungeon from PCs or working to corrupt an entire society. For example, my last campaign had the PCs (evil drow) caught in the middle of a large-scale war between dwarves and drow, with each side subtly assisted by agents of Mephistopheles and Dispater, respectively. If the campaign had continued, they would have seen that the whole epic conflict was basically a minor move in what amounted to a casual bet between Archdevils (as to whether CE or LG was easier to convert to LE).Yugoloths certainly seem cool, I just rarely think of them. Maybe some day...Demons are nifty, but I have a hard time making them play nice with each other. The only easy option is to have them all kept in line by fear of super-demon lurking in the background, and that isn't always so much fun. I'm trying something else though... a high-level demonologist in my current campaign is secretly manipulating all sorts of demons and thralls to congregate in a single region, keeping them mostly unaware of each other, and acting as a mysterious patron to each one. Eventually, this one city and it's surrounding environs will be host to an Ibixian mercenary company secretly devoted to Orcus, a dark cabal led by an elven librarian who happens to worship Demogorgon, a thrall of Graz'zt and her cronies, a Yeenoghuite gnoll tribe, and a single maniacal Juiblex-sponsored dwarf. So far, the demonologist is doing this just to see what will happen as these groups learn of each others' existence, but he may have more sinister plans in mind. If this storyline works out, demons may take the number one spot for me.</blockquote>
