Runesmith Hey Logan! I found your channel from Jacob’s channel, and I’ve been watching both of your guy’s videos for a couple months now. I got introduced to D&D late last year, so I’ve really been enjoying the tips and tricks from both of your channels. I just wanted to ask: could you or Jacob make a video on how your whole group met and started playing D&D together? You seem like a tight knit group, and I think it’d be really cool if you guys did that. Either way, really love your stuff! :)

While I don't necessarily remember how they did it, I did find that there is a player stat block for thri-kreen in the 4e Dark Sun setting. We always played 3.5, so they might have adjusted it somewhat, but if they did not use that, they probably just homebrewed it, as there are guidelines to creating a player race from a monster race. It is presumed that any player character, regardless of race, except for certain special cases or personal character backgrounds, can speak Common, so they had common, thri-kreen, and any extra languages they knew from their intelligence (which I think one of them was kinda dumb, so only knew those two, but the other knew at least draconic, which I remember becuz I also spoke that one.)

That's an interesting thought, but in 5e lore, they were created for the Blood War, which was already in progress. But you could say that, while they didn't start it, the yugoloths want it to keep going, for business' sake. On the note of the Blood War's beginning, in my personal canon, Asmodeous and all the other original devils used to actually be demons, and the Nine Hells were actually Abyssal layers, but they split from the Abyss, so the Blood War is actually a civil war of sorts.

"Hehe, a lefty I see" *neck breaking noises* That was the last time runesmith was ever seen again

I always thought Yugoloths are extremely interesting and underrated. First of all the motivation : they do what they do for themselves and because they like it. Devils do stuff for themselves too but they are worried about the hierarchy, the bureaucracy, the endless conflict, the struggle for power. They must be stressed af. Demons too are egotistical but must always be edgy af, the whole chaos and destruction thing, the endless conflict, schemes upon schemes just to conquer a tiny layer of abyss for themselves. Yugoloths on the other hand do it for the fun and the profit. That's refreshing. They roam the planes searching for the best bidder, who will pay them to do something they actually enjoy and would do anyway.

I feel like they are definitely underused. I think you need to have more interaction with the outer planes for them to really matter. A cool idea for them would be for a villian without an Army hiring a company of these guys to do their dirty work, or if you piss of a God with good PR they hire these guys to clean you out. I think they work well for general mercenary stuff. Hardest part to using them might be that they are just mercs and well Devils and Demons are just more iconic

I find the backstory for the yugoloths somewhat disappointing. It seems like they put way more thought into the nine hells and the abyss, and Gehenna was just an afterthought. I mean, the abyss and the nine hells both have huge epic backstories, but the yugoloths were just made by a few hags. Wow.

Merrenoloths are probably the chillest of the bunch when it comes to Yugoloths. They typically avoid fighting, going as far as to write in their contracts that they are under absolutely no obligation to fight on anyone's behalf. Pirate crews should definitely consider hiring one of these guys to act as their ship's captain, since they're mercenary AF anyway.

In 5e D&D, a fiend is a creature native to the Lower Planes, such as a devil, yugoloth, demon, rakshasa, or succubus. Because the game has a one-creature-type limit, it is not possible to be both undead and a fiend.

When you kill them they become a corpse. Such vial magics at hand

Honestly Yuggloth give me more true neutral vibes than neutral evil.

I like these guys because theoretically they're hella easy to integrate as henchmen, give an alternative to combat by bribing/hiring, have cool designs, and if you're smart you can recruit them for free by charming them & asking for their name or using some sort of mind reading power. A magic Illithid could most certainly extract the name of weaker Yugoloths and have strong slaves to go around and collect prisoners for dinner. Or get so many weak Yugoloths together to pin down a stronger one to mind read & work your way up the chain.
