View source for Tanar'ri

Like the [[baatezu]], '''tanar’ri''' are fiends (lower planar creatures of enormous power), but they embody evil of a different type. Baatezu, lawful evil beings, pursue calculated doctrines as part of a grand plan to advance their race to dominion of all the planes. Most baatezu tempt mortals into intellectual evils such as pride, ambition, and subversion. Tanar’ri, chaotic evil personified, are motivated not by doctrines but by insane, violent inner drives. They tempt mortals into crimes of passion and vice, evils of appetite. Less intelligent tanar’ri often attack without question and fight until slain. True and greater tanar’ri roam the [[Astral Plane|Astral]] and [[Ethereal Plane|Ethereal]] planes, driven ceaselessly to seek fresh victims.

Tanar'ri are native to [[the Abyss]]. On [[Ardrana]], tanar'ri do not appear with any frequency, usually only via the summoning of powerful spellcasters. When they do appear, they are more commonly called "demons".
