[QUOTE="MechaTarrasque, post: 9755042, member: 6801226"] The primary reason is that you can give the good critters abilities that certain (sub)classes of PC's can aspire to. Admittedly, there is a lot of "chicken and egg" stuff going on, especially in early editions (there were a lot of paladins with wings), but we have had a lot of editions and a lot of good monsters (especially in 2nd edition) since then. [Similarly, I figure any time there is some neat ability that shows up for a fiend, fey, or aberration, I am disappointed if that doesn't find its way to warlocks in some fashion.] Additionally, you give the DM's something with weight to nudge the PC's (in nonevil campaigns) away from bad behavior. As much as it amuses me having the next demon the PC's run across talk about what a big fan of their work he/she/it is (and how he/she/it heard that Orcus thinks there is a place for them in his organization), it doesn't have as much bite as when an angel calls the PC's "sons of Demogorgon" for whatever "this is totally CN" scheme they just tried...
