Devils / Baatezu
Devils are fiendish natives of the Nine Hells of Baator, in 4th edition, they are Evil in alignment, while in earlier editions they are Lawful Evil. The most prominent group of devils are the Baatezu, who were first introduced as a group in 2nd edition. Though less immediately destructive than the Tanar'ri, the Baatezu's blood-chilling yet logical designs reach across the planes and their ranks are perfectly organized.

Famous quotes containing the word devils:
“The fact remains that the human being in early childhood learns to consider one or the other aspect of bodily function as evil, shameful, or unsafe. There is not a culture which does not use a combination of these devils to develop, by way of counterpoint, its own style of faith, pride, certainty, and initiative.”
—Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
