They're also mentioned in FC:I as having some incredibly ancient sources claiming that they were an earlier fiendish race that created the obyriths and ancient baatorians (which is a twist on the version of history that the yugoloths claim), and the core of that is later repeated by the dying obyrith lord Bechard who mentions that the obyriths originated outside of the Abyss as the creations of a parent race of creator fiends. Maybe all of the fiends are lying, but certain things keep popping up that reflect elements of the 'loth creation mythos. Beyond FC:I, there aren't many other mentions of them in 3.x, the only other one being a mention I made of one specific baern in Dragon.But in-game the earliest histories of the lower planes (which are all penned by the 'loths or demodands, so you have to trust them to tell the whole trust...) claim that before the outer planes existed in manifest form, the abstract alignments warred against their opposites in some vague, immaterial existance. Eventually a truce was brokered by Neutrality, and out of this the first primordial versions of the outer planes formed, with each primal alignment sending a race of representatives into those half-formed planes. Evil sent the Baernaloths who would go on to create the yugoloths as a servant race, with a renegade baernaloth named Apomps going on to create the demodands as his servant race in mockery of the 'loths (and the Obyriths curiously parallel this by their own creation of the Tanar'ri).Much of this was fleshed out in 'Faces of Evil: The Fiends', 'Hellbound: The Blood War', and 'Planes of Conflict'.This is what they looked like: <img src="http://arcanofox.foxpaws.net/Baernaloth1" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> <s>Bulmahn got off light with Hextor putting arrows into his car</s> I mean  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
