Talk:Yugoloth

My recent edit stated that the Yugoloths have joined the demons. I got this from a pdf file downloaded from the WotC website. WorldsMonsters_66t67.pdf

Could someone who knows the author and proper full title please reference it for me? Elfinor 08:03, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Redirection from Daemon
I don't fully agree with the redirection of searches for daemon to Yugoloth. In Promise of the Witch-King the guarding creatures in Zhengyi's construct are referred to as daemons and have nothing in common with the appearance of yogoloths... I just think it's confusing for someone looking up daemons and being directed to the article for yugoloths rather than to the article for guarding daemon (which still might be creatures created by yogoloths as stated in the article...I don't know enough about that). My two cents Elysara 08:18, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * They're likely yugoloths - just a different type. Daemon was the pre-2e name for yugoloths. They changed the name in 2e just like they changed devils to baatezu and demons to tanar'ri. Though devils and demons reclaimed their old name and baatezu and tanar'ri are not just varieties of devils and demons, the name yugoloth stuck for daemons.
 * Go ahead and check. I'm not making this up. Daemons are yugoloths.

 * I'm not suspecting you of making anything up.. that's why I asked in the first place. I might have the FR novels but not the D&D literature... Thx for you answer. Elysara
 * Though they were originally called guardian daemons (in the 1st edition Fiend Folio), and appeared under that name in the 2nd edition Monstrous Compendium Volume Two, they were renamed guardian yugoloths in the 2nd edition Monstrous Manual (page 371, since I have it in my lap). It was explained in Faces of Evil: The Fiends that guardian yugoloths were creations of the yugoloths, made so that bothersome wizards would summon the guardians instead of their masters. -- Rowan Earthwood 18:49, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Cleanup
The article is very listy. We should try to reduce this to prose as per Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Embedded lists and perhaps summarize each of the headings, such as Greater Yugoloths, Battleloths, etc, perhaps creating a separate article for each. Fw190a8 (talk &middot; contr) 16:04, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
