Main Topic: Demons & Devils In Dungeons and Dragons

Mythological etymology:

Demons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon

Devils: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil

Demons and Devils have been in Dungeons and Dragons since the beginning and continuing to the current edition.  They have been forces of evil all along until the current edition, in which all creatures seem to have a human’s breadth of perspective.  These creatures are mostly possessed of great supernatural powers and physical might, which make them fearsome foes to battle. Their appearance varies greatly, but they tend to be largegrotesque.



In myth demon and devil are interchangeable terms, but in DnD they are distinct creatures.  Devils prefer order and to lure mortals to wickedness, while demons are unpredictable and prefer outright destruction.  They also hail from different planes of existence, devils from The Nine Hells, demons the Abyss. However, mortals are not likely to think the difference very important.
