Satyr-like servitors of Orcus, who serve as captains in his armies of undead.
----
* BarbaricBattleaxe: [[UnreliableIllustrator Despite being depicted carrying some sort of flail]], artaagliths wield battleaxes inscribed with enough symbols of death to serve as their divine focus for spellcasting.
* GruesomeGoat: They're commonly called "goat demons," though their heads are actually those of hairless rams.
* {{Necromancer}}: Artaagliths can cast spells and command undead as if they were 5th-level clerics with the Evil and Undeath domains, and they also know spell-like abilities such as ''animate dead'', ''death knell'' and ''desecrate''. They prefer to hang back and let their minions do the direct fighting, while the artaaglith uses its cleric abilities to bolster the undead, occasionally dropping a ''stinking cloud'' on a mixed combat.

* FantasticRacism: While he's willing to accept human followers into his cults- both as deceived unfortunates and voluntary servants- he otherwise possesses a special and powerful hatred towards the human race, as the two summoners instrumental to his imprisonment beneath Castle Greyhawk and the destruction of his Abyssal realm were both human, to the point where he tends to abandon his more cunning and intelligent tactics against human foes in favor of savagery beating them into the ground, and one of his newfound primary goals- once he regains his former power- is [[FinalSolution to slaughter every last human in existence]].

* AntiMagic: He possesses a "disjuncting touch" that allows him to automatically disenchant any magic item that he gets his hands on (something that two unfortunate adventurers that Gary Gygax pitted him against found out the hard way, as elaborated in ThePlotReaper below) and even gives him a 1-in-5 chance to [[DispelMagic dispel]] ''antimagic field'' effects and destroy artifacts, although each time he does the very latter, he runs the risk of losing all of his powers for a century... something that, in the past, his rivals took advantage of in a revenge scheme against him with the help of the mage Zagyg, tricking him into destroying an artifact called the ''Ichor Lance'' that Zagyg would seemingly use against him once he was summoned, only for the wizard to bind him into a bas relief when this subsequently stripped him of his powers and rendered him vulnerable.

* SummonMagic: He has the ability to temporarily summon a demon of virtually any power level- including a ''demon lord''- while using his illusions to mask himself as being a foolish mortal summoner. While he's more than willing to use this ability pragmatically in combat (making things FromBadToWorse for anyone fighting him by siccing ''another'' demon lord- often at full fighting strength- onto them while he falls back), he's most notorious (especially in the Abyss) for having made a habit of [[{{Troll}} briefly summoning other demon lords into his clutches and taking advantage of them however he wished]] in the past, at least until [[LaserGuidedKarma some of his demonic enemies got together to give him a taste of his own medicine, which resulted in him being bound and imprisoned by an actual mortal summoner for more than a century, during which all the enemies he made due to his antics stormed his layer of the Abyss and tore it to the ground]].

Succubui in 3E are the first species of tanar'ri to spawn naturally from the Abyss without obyrith intervention, lead by their queen the demon lord (lady) Malcanthet. Later editions {{Ret Con}} succubi as not being demons at all.

* EvilIsPetty: Fraz-Urb'luu is quite possibly the most spiteful and needlessly sadistic demon in the Abyss... no small feat, given the tanar'ri are already some of the most proactively loathsome and unsavory fiends in the Lower Planes. To start, he built up his HatedByAll status by fooling other demon lords into being summoned into his clutches, before binding them into temporary servitude with his ''Staff Of Fraz-Urb'luu'' to take things that he wished from them- and many times which he did [[ItAmusedMe simply to amuse himself]]- before dismissing them once he grew bored with them, presumably to let them wallow in their humiliation. When this came back to bite him- resulting in a centuries-long imprisonment within the depths of Castle Greyhawk, during which his demonic enemies stormed his Abyssal layer and razed it to the ground, as well as sundered the ''Staff Of Fraz-Urb'luu'' and scattered its pieces across the cosmos- and he eventually returned to see his home had been destroyed in his absence, he swore bloody vengeance upon the entire Material Plane for Zagig's hand in his fall from power; in the ''Dragon'' magazine issue that details him, it's noted that, unlike other demons- who see the Material Plane as a place ripe for sowing chaos and depravity within mortal hearts- Fraz-Urb'luu just sees it as a massive affront to his wounded pride and would have it all completely destroyed instead. Hell, part of why he even bothers to deceive mortals and be TheCorrupter in the first place is so that, when they eventually end up in his clutches, he can sadistically show them the true horrific consequences of them believing in his lies and unknowing serving his interests, driving them over the DespairEventHorizon before devouring their souls... and if the person in question was some unlucky shmuck who happened to be a follower of one of his false religions, he'll typically string them along for a bit longer beforehand with an idyllic-but-false afterlife that gradually fades away, until the poor sap ultimately realizes the horrible truth.
