Mane

A mane (or manes singular and plural ) was a tanar'ri demon formed when a chaotic evil soul died and was sent to the Abyss. Manes were considered the "fodder" of the Abyss.

Description
Manes were generally three feet tall. They had white eyes and pale, bloated flesh that was often in the process of being eaten by maggots.

Combat
Manes fought with their nails and teeth.

Abilities
Manes could not speak, but they could understand simple language. Like other tanar'ri, manes could summon other tanar'ri.

A mane could potentially travel up the food chain of demonic evolutions and become a demon lord, though this was very rare.

Ships of chaos were tied together with strands of the spirits of manes. Such ships could also be powered by eating manes.

History
Along with other demons, manes roamed the streets of Menzoberranzan in 1485–1486 DR.
