Fiends of a lawful evil nature, inhabitants of the Nine Hells.
-
Devils of every sort delight in making complex deals with travellers and with mortals on the Material Plane. Those dealing with a devil often live to regret it, even if they only live for a little while.
Devils always seek ways to increase their own power and thus gain promotion into a higher form of devilhood.
Besides devils, such creatures as hellcats, hell hounds, imps, kytons, nightmares, and even rakshasas call the Nine Hells home. A few hardy mortals have set up permanent homes in the Nine Hells, living in mighty fortresses defended by lesser devils lawfully bound to short-term contracts.
