	The '''Erinyes''' (singular ''Erinys'') or '''Furies''' were a trinity of lesser goddesses in Greco-Roman [[mythology]], Alecto, Megarea, and Tisiphone, who governed Vengeance & Retribution, and would later become figures of justice. In either case, they were empowered to punish the wicked, especially oathbreakers. Ancient Greek culture often venerated the "natural order" of things; in such an order, word was bond, and people were expected to demonstrate as much and show respect to their gods, their parents, their elders, and their guests. Anyone who [[Heresy\|went back on their word or otherwise proved to be impious or sacrilegious]] was considered a scumbag of the highest order, and the Erinyes were the trio called upon to [[Rip and tear\|vent their righteous fury]] upon the offender.

	In Dungeons & Dragons, ~~they were split up into~~ two different monsters~~; the Erinyes of [[Planescape]] and the Furies of [[Ravenloft]].~~		=Dungeons & Dragons=
			In Dungeons & Dragons, Erinyes and Furies are two different monsters.
	~~==Planescape==~~
	While technically preceding Planescape - the D&D Erinyes goes all the way back to the original 1977 Monster Manual - the "true" Erinyes of D&D was made most prominent when that setting was released for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]].

			==Erinyes==
	These Erinyes have absolutely nothing to do with the Greco-Roman story. They're the Devil equivalent of the [[Succubus]], being attractive fiends who resemble fallen - but still gorgeous - [[angel]]s. Different attitudes to account for the difference between [[Baatezu]] and [[Tanar'ri]], but still the same basic concept. 3E mentions that Erinyes can look like men, but this never took off, and there's no single depiction of one as male.

	==~~Ravenloft~~==		==Furies==
	The Furies of Ravenloft are far more faithful to the actual mythology, consisting of three [[fiend]]-like entities who resemble [[harpy\|harpies]]. But, as Ravenloft is the biggest Fuck YOu Players setting in D&D, they are twisted around in one key detail: whereas the mythological Furies punished the wicked, ''these'' furies are blights upon the goodly, as their charge is to prevent any evil soul in Ravenloft from trying to seek redemption. As in, they will publically rip you to pieces if you refuse to continue being an evil asshole.

	==Pathfinder==		=Pathfinder=
	Erinyes, as OGL monsters, were included in [[Pathfinder]] without much modification. It got a Combat Reflexes as a consequence of PF's improved feat rate, it has slightly higher HP from outsider going from d8 HD to d10, and its strength is one higher in exchange for its dex being one lower (a strict upgrade as both were odd scores), and its rope works slightly differently.
