Yugoloth Yugoloths ( also often called daemons or nicknamed loths ) are neutral evil fiend ish natives of the Blood Rift who are neutral to the affairs of the other fiendish races , interfering only when they see a situation that may be profitable or a potential for the advancement of their own schemes . The yugoloths are manipulative , secretive , and mercenary by nature , often acting as soldiers for in their own private wars , or even at times aiding both sides of the Blood War . Physical description . The yugoloths present themselves as simply greedy mercenaries , willing to sell their services to both sides , while behind that public face , the members of their highest castes view the entire course of the conflict as their own thing to control and manipulate until they decide to end it , unify the Fiendish Planes , and turn their attention to the planes of Good . Like the tanar ' ri and baatezu , the yugoloths have their rulers : the baernoloth s , who are their progenitors . Below the baernoloths is the ruler of Khin - Oin , who is given the title of Oinoloth . Yugoloths craving more power sometimes make a pact with the night hag s who transform them into unique and powerful creatures , the altraloth s . Non - transformed yugoloths find this to be a treachery against the perfection of their kind , but must bow nonetheless before the might of these fiend s . The most prominent is the former Oinoloth Anthraxus . Another major altraloth is Charon , the boatman of the River of Blood , who ferries souls down the river for a steep price . The Yugoloths and Faerûn . The Weeping War . In - 1200 DR , a group of Netherese arcanist s summoned a trio of nycaloth s ( Aulmpiter , Gaulguth , and Malimshaer ) to test the defenses of the elven realm of Cormanthyr . The nycaloths , who served Malkizid and became known as the " Khovanilessa " ( meaning " Trio Nefarious " ) , caused a great deal of damage before Cormanthyr ' s high mages succeeded in imprisoning them with epic magic . Unfortunately for Cormanthyr , the prison did not hold forever . In 708 DR , the flight of the elven - raised red dragon Garnetallisar over the realm inadvertently fulfilled one of the conditions of their release , weakening the magical barrier enough that a gnoll shaman could summon them . The Trio quickly moved to exact vengeance on the elves , raising the Army of Darkness and invading northern Cormanthyr in 711 DR , sparking the Weeping War . The next year , the Army of Darkness crushed a force of Harpers at Twilight . Garnetallisar struck back , causing some damage but vanishing in the midst of the fight . The war raged on . In 713 DR , Cormanthyran forces killed Gaulguth and Malimshaer , but the Army continued to advance on Myth Drannor ; its citizens began to evacuate . Taking advantage of the war , drow forces attacked and recaptured the Twisted Tower . The war ended in disaster for the elves in 714 DR , when Myth Drannor fell . The only good to come out of this came when Captain Fflar Starbrow Melruth slew Aulumpiter , the final member of the Trio Nefarious . The seat of power in Cormanthyr returned to the Elven Court , and the nation was barred to non - elves . War of the Spider Queen . The ultroloth Inthracis mustered the majority of his army at the behest of Vhaeraun to kill Lolth ' s " Yor ' thae " , thus preventing her elevation to greater power . He and his army failed in their task . Inthracis himself was killed by Pharaun Mizzrym but was resurrected using one of his Stasis clone s that he kept on the Blood Rift . Hierarchy . Battleloths . A subgroup of yugoloths are known as battleloths . These creatures take the shapes of various weapons .
