Contents

Chapter 1: Demonic Lore

The first chapter explains a number of well known aspects of demons, including their physiology, their interactions on the Material Plane, the roles they fit into, and how possession works. Also given are details on the Black Scrollls of Ahm.

Chapter 2: Demons

The second chapter discusses the difference between the three main subtypes of demon: loumara, obyrith, and tanar'ri. Also included is information on sixteen different types of demons: armanite, bar-lgura, broodswarm, bulezau, chasme, dybbuk, ekolid, goristro, guecubu, lilitu, mane, molydeus, nabassu, rutterkin, sibriex, and yochlol.

Their statistics are given at lower Challenge Ratings than in previous books such as Book of Vile Darkness, ranging from Juiblex at CR 19 to Demogorgon at CR 23. The chapter also provides tips on advancing the demon lords so that they can be as powerful as you like.
