Demon

Demons are the most widespread race of fiends. They are Chaotic Evil by nature, and are native to the Abyss. Demons have no true rulers, though powerful demon lords and deities are able to gain enough power and influence to gain control over sizeable armies of demonic creatures. They are also the sworn enemies of the devils, though their ageless Blood War came to an end upon Asmodeus' ascendance to godhood.

Subcategories of demons
There are five subcategories of demons:

Loumara
The loumara are a relatively new demonic race, much younger than the tanar'ri.

Obyrith
The obyrith are so ancient that they predate mortal life, and even the gods.

Tanar'ri
The tanar'ri are a race of numerous demons originally created by the obyriths as slaves.

Yugoloth
The yugoloths are amoral mercenaries who spread into the Blood Rift and throughout the planes.
