	In the [[Great Wheel]], hordlings are what happens when larvae - the petitioner form of evil souls - are allowed to fester for too long, resulting in each wicked soul being reborn as a uniquely deformed [[fiend]]. As their name implies, these ragtag fiendlings gather in huge hordes, roaming aimlessly across [[Hades]] and the other [[Lower Planes]] and picking fights with anything they encounter.

	The first two editions had the DM roll to generate the traits her/himself.

	An ultra-mutable fiendish mook may sound like fun on paper, but when you had to do the rolling ''by hand'', or turn on your Commodore 64 and write a lot of BASIC code to do it (NOT THAT ANY OF US HERE REMEMBER ANY OF THAT) - it became a lot less fun. Add in that hordlings are supposed to come in huge hordes and... yeah, they grew tiresome to generate, pretty damn quickly.

	In the [[World Axis]], hordelings embody the unholy fecundity of the [[Abyss]]; they are literally scraps of elemental corruption and chunks of demon flesh born from the seething tides of profane energy emanating from that [[plane]]. When demons slaughter each other in battle, the corpses become the seed of new generations; the raw elemental substances of demonic carcasses is impregnated with the essence of pure evil that permeates the Abyss, causing new tiny fiendlings to rise up and carry on with the circle of birth, pain and death that keeps the Abyss alive.
