Devil, Pit

Pit devils are infernal beings native to the rings of Hell. They are quadrupedal, brutish devils with a secondary maw in their torso that hungers for the souls of unrepentant sinners. They have vestigial wings, though some are able to fly. Pit devils serve as the commanders of Hell’s armies, lording over other infernal species. Few have traveled to the Mortal Plane, but those who did have caused incalculable death and destruction. Those few became warlords and tyrants who conquered all they could in their quest to recreate the rings of Hell.
