Fiend
Fiends are a type of creature that are from the Lower Planes. They are creatures born of pure evil.
“Evil, wicked creatures from the Lower Planes that labour under the leadership of lawful archdevils or chaotic demon princes.„
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
Fiends come in a variety of forms and sizes. Some are intelligent, while others are not. They are so long-lived they have an unknown expected lifespan, and as such they don't grow old.
Most fiend creatures are resistant or immune to 
Fire damage, due to coming from the Nine Hells.
