What is a Fiend?
A fiend is evil, given substance, form and intelligence. This usually happens either when an otherworldly force of evil is summoned from the lower planes by a mortal, or when folkloric evil is shaped into reality by the thoughts and beliefs of generations. Examples of the former are creatures like the baatezu and tanar'ri, creatures formed from the souls of the damned over millennia and released by summoning rituals or transposition. The latter include fey-like evil such as the Straw God or White Fiend.
Corruption Index
"Celebrated" Fiends
- The Devil Strahd who is actually not a fiend and the moniker is probably a metaphor as used by the vast majority of Barovians.
- The Black Duke thanks to The Beast of Ehrendton, his cult, and the destruction of the village of Drataan in Nova Vaasa is the most "celebrated" of actual fiends.
- Malocchio Aderre although he is known as such by few.
- The Whistling Fiend who destroyed the villages of Creeana in Darkon and Chiara in Borca.

Fiendish Cults

- Brother Micah called the Black Duke and was destroyed for his trouble.[3]
Rabbi Joshua Fiedorow[4]- Strahd called Inajira and sold him his soul in exchange for aid againt the Terg.
- A (now deceased) wizard hired by Yagno Petrovna called Malistroi in the attempt to conjure the Provider aspect of Zhakata.[5]
Possession and Transposition

The Monster Hunter prestige class includes an option to specialise in the hunting of fiends.
- Davvyd hunted Drigor with Dr. Rudolph van Richten and was killed for his trouble.
- Isolde hunts the Gentleman Caller.
- Josef Zhitoff hunts the Bad Wind.
- Ottelie Farringer hunted Drigor with Dr. Rudolph van Richten and was killed for her trouble.
