Baernaloth

The legendary baernaloths (I pronounce the first syllable either "bear" or "Burr"), sometimes spelled baernoloths, are among the chiefest of all mysteries in the multiverse. They are possibly the eldest of all fiends. They claim to have created all of the other fiends, including the yugoloths, demodands, baatezu, tanar'ri, hordlings, nagals, and night hags. Some even claim they spawned the ancient Baatorians and obyriths.

The baernaloths are some of the oldest beings in the multiverse. Many fiends legitimately provide them deference. They are incredibly knowledgeable, and it is not uncommon for powerful fiends to seek them out seeking wisdom.

Physical description

Baernaloths are the stuff of nightmares. They are 8 feet tall, gaunt, and lanky, with freakishly long limbs and grey skin. They look emaciated and skeletal. Their heads lack skin and are instead bare skulls resembling that of a ram or bovine.

Alignment

The baernaloths are Neutral Evil, though the urgaloth Anthraxus allegedly has a retinue of baernaloth viziers who are Chaotic Evil.
