View source for Yugoloth

'''Yugoloths''' are fiends that inhabit the Lower Planes of [[Acheron]], [[Gehenna]], [[the Gray Waste]], and [[Carceri]]. They act as mercenaries in the [[Blood War]], but they display a complete lack of loyalty. These cunning creatures turn on their employers for greater payment by another. Those who use yugoloths as mercenaries must have power over them before entering battle.

The yugoloths quarrel among themselves. Individually ferocious, they are inefficient formation warriors. The [[baatezu]] and [[tanar'ri]] use yugoloths in the Blood War only because each fears the other might gain an advantage by using them.

Greedy and avaricious, yugoloths gladly turn on their employers for the right price. Fortunately for the yugoloths, battle reports rarely return to [[Baator]] or [[the Abyss]]. When they do, the offending yugoloths are hunted and punished with unimaginable torture. This does not deter further betrayals, for the greed of a yugoloth runs deep.

On [[Ardrana]], yugoloths appear exceedingly rarely. When they do, it is typically because they have been summoned by some powerful spellcaster. They are more commonly called "daemons".

''Note: Yugoloths originally appeared in this form in the [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Planescape-Monstrous-Compendium-PLANESCAPE-ACCESSORY/dp/1560768622 Planescape Monstrous Compendium] for the AD&D game from TSR. Their use here is for the purposes of providing context for the campaign only.''
