[QUOTE="Shade, post: 2919264, member: 287"] I believe BOZ started a similar thread around the same time as his excellent [URL=http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=166970]Demonic Lore [/URL] 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.
