	But in this (rare) case That Woman had a point. Their name was always redundant with "demon"; and as spelled out, it conflicts with the ancient Greek word for “spirit” or even "lesser god" - Socrates had a daemon with him, for instance. And the eeevil daemons never enjoyed anything like the popularity as the two major fiendish races on either side, nor were they as well known. Her name-change didn't help their case, though.

	Originally the Neutral Evil outworlders daemons got allocated to the Gray Waste of [[Hades]], though ''[[Planescape]]'' shifted most of them to [[Gehenna]] because Hades really sucks, in 5e this has actually been retconned into their ''home plane'' for some fucking reason. Planescape also booted some of them into [[Carceri]] as part of a minor storyhook where the Yugoloths were trying to take over all of the middle lower planes using three towers and where only being stopped thanks to the [[~~Demodands~~]], as you can probably tell the writers never did anything with that story line and in fact forgot that there are Yugoloths in Carceri.

	Yugoloths embody the platonic idea of Evil itself. Not “evil”, mind you, but capital-e Evil. They lie, cheat, and betray for its own sake, and generally seek to cause as much suffering and hate as possible to everyone. Whereas the demons embody anarchy, and the devils embody tyranny, the yugoloth embody sociopathy. They're kind of dicks like that. They act as mercenaries (primarily in the [[Blood War]], but they'll work for anyone who can meet their price, even their polar opposites the [[guardinal\|Guardinals]]), constantly switching sides between the factions involved in whatever conflict they were paid to fight in (this can happen multiple times in a single battle). In fact, there are conspiracy theories that ''they'' are the original fiends and/or that they're the ones who started the Blood War and are playing it to their own end.

	*'''[[Apomps]] the Three-Sided''' - ~~baernaloth. Possibly~~ is the creator and lord of the [[Demodand]]s.		*'''[[Apomps]] the Three-Sided''' - Baernaloth, possibly is the creator and lord of the [[Demodand]]s.

	*'''[[Anthraxus]] the Decayed''' - ~~altraloth (~~and ~~held oinoloth~~ title)		*'''[[Anthraxus]] the Decayed''' - Altraloth, is the current holder of the Oinoloth title and rules from the Wasting Tower of Khin-Oin in Hades. Briefly loss his title to Mydianchlarus due to him driving Anthraxus away with a vile secert.
			*'''[[Bubonix]]''' - Altraloth and former Arcanaloth, ruler of the incomplete Tower of Incarnate Pain in [[Carceri]].

	*'''[[~~Bubonix~~]]''' - ~~altraloth~~		*'''[[Charon]] (a.k.a. Cerlic)''' - Altraloth, ruler of the Marraenoloths and undisputed master of traveling the River Styx.

	*'''[[~~Charon~~]] ~~(a.k.a. Cerlic)~~''' - ~~altraloth~~		*'''[[Cholerix]]''' - Altraloth, Bubonix's trusted lieutenant. Her primary job besides managing the Tower for her lord is meeting with the [[Demon Princes]] and securing mercenary contracts with them.

	*'''[[~~Cholerix~~]]''' - ~~altraloth~~		*'''[[The General of Gehenna]]''' - Ultroloth (and probably an Altraloth), is the original Ultroloth and possibly even the first Yugoloth. His position within Yugoloth society beyond the obvious was fairly unclear til 5e where it was established that he was the master of all Yugoloths.

	*'''[[~~The General of Gehenna~~]]''' - ~~ultroloth (~~and ~~probably an altraloth)~~		*'''[[Helekanalaith]]''' - Arcanaloth, and in fact leads all Arcanaloth from the Tower Arcane in Gehenna.

	*'''[[~~Helekanalaith~~]]''' - ~~arcanaloth~~		*'''[[Infestix]]''' - [[Gygax]]'s ''Come Endless Darkness'' novel posits that the first Oinoloth Infestix and the deity [[Nerull]] were the same being.

	*'''[[~~Infestix~~]]''' - ~~[[Gygax]]'s ''Come Endless Darkness'' novel posits that the first oinoloth Infestix and the deity [[Nerull]] were~~ the ~~same~~ being.		*'''[[Mydianchlarus]]''' - Ultroloth, briefly held the Oinoloth title before being murdered by Anthraxus.

	*'''[[~~Mydianchlarus~~]]''' - ~~ultroloth (and held oinoloth title)~~		*'''[[Taba]]''' - Altraloth, one of the greatest spies in existence she often disguises herself as other fiends.

	*'''[[~~Taba~~]]''' - ~~altraloth~~		*'''[[Typhus]]''' - Altraloth, general of the Infernal Front.

	*'''[[~~Typhus~~]]''' - ~~altraloth~~		* '''[[Xengahra]]''' - Altraloth, a strange outcast Yugoloth that resembles a [[Solar]] and is a living personification of hopelessness. Is bizarrely friendly and is one of the rare few outsiders who diverge from their natural alignment, in his case True Neutral.

	* '''[[~~Xengahra~~]]~~''' - altraloth~~
