-As huge as Glabrezu, these boar-like Demons have dangerous mental powers, and specialize in magic in a way most lesser Demons do not.

Jab's Notes: These guys sound kind of goofy, but CR 16 and over a dozen magical powers makes for a frightening opponent. I figure them for "Mind Control" types in Castellia, but with deadly physical prowess, too. At full-on PL 10 (in a world where "Epic Level" is PL 12), even one is deadly. Never mind that Mental Powers are somewhat rare in this universe.

-Mariliths are among the most brilliant and cunning of demonkind, and are typically held in status only behing the mighty Balors. They are most-often seen as great lieutenants for Demon Lords. They are snake-like from the waist down, and appear as lovely women with multiple arms from the waist up. Almost all Mariliths are greatly skilled in Magic of some kind, though the exact type varies from being to being, as they are quite diverse in personality and style of combat.

Jab's Notes: Mariliths are CR 16, and among the highest-level of Demons. I made them more of the "High-Accuracy" speedsters, hitting a high PL through that more than their raw power, though they are definitely quite tough.

I got a couple more suggestions, particularly for the pokemon: Ho-oh and Lugia, to complete the legendary bird set, and perhaps the “God of Pokemon” itself, Arceus. For demons/devils, maybe the Nabassu? That death-stealing/killing glare is nasty, and in the Baldur’s Gate games one of the possible Wild Surge effects causes one to be gated in.

I can take a look at them. Good to see you back posting! I was worried when you hadn't responded to the Primal Rage builds, but was happy to see you were still active signing in and stuff :).

Yeah, I don't always actively post, but I usually check out the boards every day! And I just thought of a few more Pokemon: Darkrai, Rayquaza (I wasn't sure if you'd statted that one, to go with Groudon and Kyogre), and maybe Deoxys, who is FROM SPACE, is DNA-themed, and has a few diferent forms like an Attack Form, Speed Form, Defense Form, ect.. Also Castform, who changes forms depending on the weather.

-Pit Fiends are very similar to the mightier Balors, but are generally less intelligent and more aggressive beasts- meant to truly punish those who've offended their masters. Pit Fiends are also often seen commanding armies themselves! The sight of a Pit Fiend will send anyone "in the know" into fits- their size and power are frightening enough, but the arrival of one on the mortal plane can only mean one of their MASTERS is angry!

Jab's Notes: Pit Fiends fill a very "Balor"-like role among Demons, but they're only around the level of Mariliths, and two CR behind Balors. But they're the same height, wield fire, and have horns & bat wings. It's very weird.

I think you've got it backwards if you're using the standard D&D. Balors and less intelligent and more aggressive when compared to Pit Fiends. Granted, they're both nasty to fight, but Pit Fiends are typically able to beat Balors in single-combat, and are much better at planning out fights and tactics.

Hell, in 5th Edition, the Balor is CR 19, and the Pit Fiend is CR 20, despite the fact that the Balor is a size category larger than the Pit Fiend, thus a tad faster, the Pit Fiend is the far more capable fighter and more adept spellcaster. The Balor can lead a horde, but a Pit Fiend leads armies.

Then 3rd Edition D&D is the one that changed things. Their Balor is INT 20 and CR 18, while the Pit Fiend is INT 20 and CR 16. So the Balor isn't actually smarter, but it is overall more dangerous.

That makes sense. My introduction to D&D was with 3.5, wherein both Pit Fiends and Balors were both CR 20, and they were roughly the same danger level. Only, Balors were a more physical threat, while Pit Fiends were more tricksy and tactical threats.

Hm, so they changed it with their mid-edition update? Weird- that explains why I thought Balors were CR 20 until I opened my Monster Manual (from a used bookstore).
