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.I'll point out here that with respect to the Baernaloths, and specifically The Demented, be careful about the lore on them. A nice little fraction of what sometimes gets mentioned about them on the 'net doesn't come from the original material, but rather from a lot of the stuff that I've written about them in various places (Baernaloth cycle stories, my Storyhour, a story I had in a recent issue of 'Knowledge Arcana' over on Wizards, etc).Of note, Daru Ib Shamiq was never specifically named as a member of the Demented. That's a link that I've promoted in one of my stories (a rather darker retelling of the events of Squaring the Circle).The Demented are said to council the General of Gehenna, the Oinoloth, and the most powerful Ultroloths (and presumably politically relevant Altraloths).It's worth noting here that Helekanalaith appears in the lore as a quotation in Planes of Conflict attributed to him. I'm here at work, and paraphrasing: "A burning star falling from the void, or a petitioner on fire. It matters not, both are beautiful to me." - Helekanalith, Keeper of the Tower Arcane.Attributing 'Keeper' as lord of the tower arcane is possibly my invention, but it's a reasonable inference from the text regardless. Otherwise, he doesn't appear anywhere else. So anything else on the net you might find is, with fair chance, descended from some of my stuff.Likewise with Larsdana Ap Neut, she appears in a few sentences in either Planes of Conflict or Faces of Evil, stating that she 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. Her fate is never mentioned, though I've developed her history considerably in my own stuff, as well as personality, appearance, etc.We had a huge long list on Planewalker a while back that Rip, myself, and others put together listing all of the 'loths, named or not, that have appeared in various books. I'll find that tonight.Off the top of my head though, there's Duke Dyavin B'wee, a thin, white furred arcanaloth who supplies A'kin with information from back in Gehenna, in turn receiving information from the Friendly Fiend himself. [From 'Hellbound: The Blood War]Tons of others... but I'll wait till I get home to actually write them down with proper spelling, and sources, etc.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.</blockquote>
