  Evistros, also known as carnage demons, are demons formed from the souls of wrathful brutes such as orcs, ogres, or human thugs. They may also sometimes evolve from dretches that overcome their natural slothfulness and give themselves over to blind rage. Evistros roam the Abyss in unruly mobs, spreading murder and destruction in their wake. They are commonly rounded up by more powerful fiends into demonic hordes and sent into battle behind a first wave of dretches, who are spurred forward in fear of the carnage demons' wrath.

Yaenits serve Lamashtu alone. They feel no purpose in life but to fight, breed, and spread fear, and are commonly conjured by Lamashtu's priests for those purposes. A great many half-fiend gnolls and fiendish hyenas owe their existence to these mockeries. Female yaenits are usually more powerful than the males; they often possess a third eye in reflection of their creator, and appear pregnant even when not; many gain class levels as clerics or antipaladins. Yaenits may be mistaken for gnolls at first glance, but the prevalence of random mutations and palpable aura of wrongness that hangs over them quickly dispels that illusion.

More than just scavengers, maurezhis possess the ability to consume the life force, memories, and even appearance of those they kill and eat, and seek egress onto the Material Plane whenever possible to spread misery in humanoid guise. They delight in consuming mortals, stealing their forms, and tormenting the victim's loved ones while wearing the victim's face.

Rutterkins, also called wretch demons, are twisted demons formed from the damned souls of murderous bullies, or else molded from several manes whose tortured forms are fused together in unspeakable rituals. They are bestial creatures whose blasted frames inflict on them constant agony. They live only to exert brute force and make other beings suffer. Rutterkins form the backbone of many demonic hordes.

Manes are the weakest, most basic constituents of the demonic host. A single evil soul - typically one of the pettiest, most pathetic sinners - can spawn dozens of manes, their writhing, slime-covered masses heaving en masse out of the filthy Abyssal soil.
