Tanar'ri

Tanar'ri (teh-NAH-ree) are residents of the Abyss. They are one of the most prominent races of the lower planes, and feature heavily in the blood war.

Tanar'ri are known for their cruelty and individualistic behaviour. It is speculated that there are as many different sub-races within this race as there are layers in the Abyss. Here follows a list of the more common demons:
