I believe BOZ started a similar thread around the same time as his excellent Demonic Lore threads, but it appears to have been lost in the crash.
This is an attempt to gather all information on yugoloths, both for our own enjoyment and for the authors of a possible (hopeful!) Fiendish Codex III.
Feel free to add to this! Any reference to yugoloths, their home planes, fortresses, magic items associated with, etc. are all desired.

- Other members of The Diseased Eight, appearing in Gary Gygax's Gord the Rogue books (not official, but worth mentioning)
Baernaloths:
- Apomps the Triple Aspected - creator of the demodands/gehreleths
- Daru Ib Shamiq (Hellbound, "Squaring the Circle") - able to grant greater teleport to any creature, corrupted a solar named Maeldur Et Kavurik
- The Demented - A group of the Baern known to council the General of Gehenna and perhaps the Oinoloth as well.
Other Unique Yugoloth "Lords":
- The General of Gehenna - mysterious master of the yugoloth race, rules from the Crawling City (3E MotP)
- Helekanalaith - Keeper of the Tower Arcane
- Larsdana Ap Neut - designed the Tower Arcane, modeled it after certain architectural elements of Sigil, and created the racial memory archive that is pooled from all of her caste of yugoloths, and which any of them in good standing can access from anywhere on the planes (possibly former Keeper of the Tower Arcane)(Planes of Conflict)

- Shemeshka the Marauder - "information broker" in Sigil
Related Creatures:
- Slasrath (FF)
- A 'Yugoloth Ghost' appears in the module 'Squaring the Circle' from 'Hellbound: The Blood War'. It was, for all intents and purposes, a ghost yugoloth, outside of the fact that undead fiends are generally just not possible to have, it was unique in that despite its status it had no link to the ethereal or negative energy planes.
Notable 'loth Locations:
- The Crawling City - mobile fortress of the General of Gehenna; has never entered the Blood War, and prophecies suggest that should it ever do so, the Blood War will finally reach a decisive conclusion in an apocalyptic final battle (3E MotP)
- Khin-Oin the Wasting Tower - holds the Siege Malicious, seat of the Oinoloth (3E MotP)
- Tower Arcane - holds the history of the yugoloths (3E MotP)
- Tower of Incarnate Pain - unfinished, would be the third great Yugoloth tower. The tower is constructed a millions of living petitioners grafted together like writhing, screaming bricks, and the tower itself is intended to be a living creature in many respects. The center of it, something known as the Reflective Chasm, taps directly into the essence of Carceri, while the top of the Tower, known as the Crown of Agony, will eventually be wrapped in the prepared, flayed skin of a dead or sacrificed deity. The tower is nominally operated by the Altraloth Bubonix.
- Loadstones of Misery - incredibly ancient artifacts, one of them on each layer of the Gray Waste, covered in script in the Baernaloth language, that appear to be siphoning off and collecting the faith, emotions, and spiritual energies drained by the entire Gray Waste. [I have fun with these in my own work]
- City of Center - the 'loths have some sort of bizarre presence here, linked to Dandy Will, lord of the city and a tiefling of 'loth heritage.
Yugoloth-related Magic Items and Special Materials:
- Gehennan Morghuth-Iron (Arms and Equipment Guide)
- Pain Pit (minor artifact)(BoVD)
