Mordenkainen's Rating
In p.17 of Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, a 13-tier ranking system for devils was introduced. It goes like this:


 * 1) Lemures, nupperibos
 * 2) Imps
 * 3) Spined devils
 * 4) Bearded devils, merregons
 * 5) Barbed devils
 * 6) Chain devils
 * 7) Bone devils
 * 8) Horned devils, orthons
 * 9) Erinyes
 * 10) Ice devils, narzugons
 * 11) Amnizus, pit fiends
 * 12) Archdevils (dukes and duchesses that don't control a layer)
 * 13) Lords of the Nine

Rank 1 devils are the "lowest of the low", ranks 2‒7 are lesser devils, ranks 8‒11 are the greater devils, and ranks 12‒13 are the archdevils. And, of course, Asmodeus at the top.

Would it be interesting to add this more detailed division in the navbox, or would it just make it too bloated? — Sirwhiteout (talk) 21:10, July 6, 2018 (UTC)


 * I would vote no on this one, because, as you said, I think it would get too crowded. Also, the specific rankings of the devils has changed over the editions. This information should definitely go in the article though, but it would have to acknowledge the differences between editions. Planescape was very clear which devils were promoted to which, for example. The 3e Fiendish Codex is another important source. ~ Lhynard (talk) 21:26, July 6, 2018 (UTC)

Duergar
What is duergar doing in here? Last I checked they aren't devils.


 * Oddly enough, they were classified as devils in 4 edition.


 * However, this was only a tag. Unlike other devils in 4e, they were still natural humanoids, so my opinion is that they simply have devilish traits, not that they actually are devils. I'll remove them from the template.
