Baatezu (MM)

__NOTOC__
The baatezu are the primary inhabitants of the Nine Hells. They are a strong, evil tempered race held together by an equally strong organization. The baatezu live in a rigid caste system where authority is derived from power and station.
The baatezu wish to fulfill their ancient quest to destroy the tanar'ri, their blood enemies. The baatezu also know that by infiltrating humans and entering their world they will gain power over the tanar'ri. Toward this end they constantly strive to dominate the Prime Material plane and its natives.
The baatezu are divided into three groups: greater, lesser, and least. Below are listed a few:
Greater baatezu	Lesser baatezu 	least baatezu
amnizu 	abishai (black, green, red)	nupperibo
cornugon 	barbazu 	spinagon
gelugon 	erinyes 	
pit fiend 	hamatula 	
 	osyluth 	
In addition, there are the lemures, the common "foot soldiers" of the baatezu at the very bottom in station.
==Combat==
All baatezu except for lemures, nupperibo, and spinagon are able to perform the following magical abilities, once per round, at will: advanced illusion, animate dead, charm person, infravision, know alignment (always active), suggestion, and teleport without error.
