Demons are a race of creatures native to the abyss, a plane of endless evil. They are ferocity personified and will attack any
creature just for the sheer fun of it - even other demons. They enjoy terrifying their victims before slaying them and ofteb devour
the slain. Many demons, not satisfied with their own iniquity, take pleasure in temting mortals to become as depraved as they are.
In their many and varied forms, demons are living engines of annihilation. They embody the destructive forces of chaos.
All things tend to decay into entropy, but demons exist to hurry that process along.
Fear and mercy are utterly alien to demons’ minds. Hate and savagery are their only masters, destruction their only
pleasure. They care nothing for plans or structure, banding together only in rampaging hordes, not nations or legions.
There is nothing subtle about them: They are not manipulators or schemers, nor are they tempters or bargain makers.
While a demonic presence might turn mortals toward corruption through indirect influence, demons do not actively lure
other creatures toward evil; they burn them alive or rip them to quivering shreds.
Sometimes powerful beings attempt to summon demons to do their will, hoping to harness demonic strength for their
own purposes. But demons are not easily bent to their summoners’ will; when a demon appears in the midst of combat, it
is with the boundless fury and power of an elemental.
Personal power, wealth, prestige, and even survival are not important to demons—their only goal is to destroy as much as
they can before they themselves are destroyed. And then, born anew in the depths of the Abyss, they rise again to continue
the destruction.
A number of demons belong to a race known as the Tanar'ri. The tanar'ri form the largest and most diverse group of demons, and they are the unchallenged masters of the Abyss. A tenar'ri posesses an immunity to electricity and poison, a resistance to fire, cold and acid, as well as telepathy. All tenar'ri also have the ability to summon others of their kind. However, between their arrogence and disdain for owing favors to one another, tenar'ri seldom to use this power unless in obvious peril.
Unless they have learned other languages they can speak Abyssal, Celestail, and Draconic.
