They are lead by the Demon Lords, who gained their positions through sheer brute force. They’re agents of chaos and general care little for the concepts of law and order. They want to subjugate all the worlds and bring them under the control of the Hells.ĭemons hail from the Abyss.
The Devils come from the Nine Hells of Baator and are generally evil but lawful, structured, and tyrannical. The Demons and Devils are also different in society. They’re a distinct subset of Fiends from Devils, and in 5e notation, the two will be differentiated in the subtags of the monster block. They generally live in the Abyss but will come to the surface from time to time to wreak havoc and cause mayhem. Demons are a subclass of the Fiend Race in Dungeons & Dragons.
