Chaotic eh? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Let's see... they are all about their own power, they enjoy inflicting pain / death, and their level of social organization is on the individual level unless something with superior power forces them to work for them. Yep, nothing chaotic or evil there you say. Well, I'd say chaotic and evil. Their tactics are dominated by their abilities. What they can do. I would argue their behavior is appropriate to their alignment as constrained by their abilities. You're descriptors are good btw, except the Chasme as a "hive servant". I know they are insectile but I don't recall them being like social insects... but maybe I'm missing something. That happens, I've been playing D&D since the mid 70s and sometimes my ideas are out of date with the latest version. Anyway, I think your short tag type descriptions supplement the alignment rather than replace it <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Everybody has issues with alignment at one time or the other. Whether it's the idea of an over arching definition of certain aspects of behavior or the placement in that system of certain monsters, races, spells, etc. I just go with what I think is right. I was. Greed is a tool for Mammon to ensnare humans and increase his power. He flaunts greed / wealth / power to attract the people he wants to damn, the souls he wants to ensnare. In the case of Yugoloths, greed is not a tool, it's what they are. They want "more", and more, etc. I would say greed is the factor that has damned them (as a race). Mammon's evil is organized, the Yugoloths is selfish. That was my point.</blockquote>
