0:00.0 | Demons and Devils |
0:04.0 | The forces of good versus the forces of evil is a tale as old as time, and it's a tale often repeated throughout dungeons and dragons. |
0:13.0 | There are plenty of creatures in the game considered to be evil, but among the most numerous and notable are the various demons and devils. |
0:22.9 | Someone unaware of the differences between the two might be surprised to learn there even is a difference, |
0:27.8 | but their differences are rather important, so important in fact that demons and devils despise each other |

0:37.9 | We'll get to all of that, as well as discussing the homes of both demons and devils, |

1:30.4 | Eldridge Wizardry also details the succubus as a unique demon, and two demon princes, Orcus and Demogorgon. |
1:39.2 | For Demogorgon, the text states that it is contended by some that this demon lord is supreme, and in any event |
1:46.3 | he is awesome in his power. I'm sure the kids from Stranger Things would agree. |
1:53.0 | More demons would be created over time, each with their own names and details, but for second |
1:58.3 | edition AD&D, due to the satanic panic heavily associated |
