Basic Information
Anatomy
Yugoloths come in many different versions. All have to walk and have legs, but some can have 3 arms, or no arms, or a tail.Most have 2 arms and 2 legs, with 5 fingers and each hand, and 5 toes on each foot.
Genetics and Reproduction
Yugoloths can reproduce both sexually and from Damnation. Yugoloth pregnancy ends after 10 "Months" (Note: Gehenna and Hades do not have a form of day or night, so it is much harder to tell how long something could take in them.) If a creature of Neutral Evil alignment died, they would be brought to either Hades or Gehenna. Sometimes, a Yugoloth will turn this damned soul into a meek
Ecology and Habitats
Yugoloths tend to live best in depressing and dreary places, or fiery and horrible places.

Additional Information
Social Structure
Yugoloths have a simple caste system. This system has Lesser and Greater yugoloths:
Lesser Yugoloths
Mezzoloth: Mezzoloths were the most common kind of yugoloth. They resembled bipedal insects with chitinous armor and four arms tipped with razor-sharp claws.
Dhergoloth: Large, strong fiends that had a bizarre appearance featuring five arms and three legs, dhergoloths (also known as Dergholoths) were stupid, but also capable of confusing opponents with the strange clacking of their insectile jaws.
Piscoloth: Intelligent yugoloths that often acted as sergeants in mercenary companies, yugoloths greatly resembled chuuls, with lobster-like bodies, a fish tail, birdlike talons, and tentacles that carried a paralytic poison.
Hydroloth: Hydroloths inhabited the River Styx, and looked like large frog-like creatures (sometimes compared to slaadi or hezrous in appearance) but had wing-like flaps connecting their arms to their legs. Hydroloths could swim in lava, as well as in the River Styx without losing their memories.
Yagnoloth: Yagnoloths were large, misshapen fiends that could exhale acidic gas. They had one oversized, muscular arm and one smaller arm capable of wielding a weapon.
Merrenoloth: The boatmen of the River Styx, merrenoloths (also called marraenoloths or charonaloths) were considered followers of the altraloth Charon, but were actually free agents.
Greater Yugoloths
Nycaloth: These green-skinned, bat-winged yugoloths acted as the highly-mobile, elite 'cavalry' of the yugoloth troops. They were typically arrogant, sometimes wielding large axes but just as often relying on their own claws. Like the mezzoloths, nycaloths had four arms that ended with claws.
Arcanaloth: These jackal or dog-headed fiends were the intelligent, civilized record keepers of the yugoloths. Powerful wielders of arcane magic, they also crafted contracts with mortals and other fiends alike, and endlessly studied the intricacies of abstract evil.
Ultroloth: Powerful, enigmatic yugoloths that appeared as faceless, gray-skinned humanoids with enlarged eyes. They had a reputation for cruelty but rarely entered combat.
Altraloth: A yugoloth of any type that was transformed into a powerful, unique yugoloth by night hags.
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Most Yugoloths can see up to 60 feet in the dark and has Blindsight, except for Ultroloths, who can see through illusions, shapechangers, Darkness (Magical and mundane), and invisible creatures, as well as look into the Ethereal plane.
Civilization and Culture
Naming Traditions
Yugoloths use names taken from devils or demons.
History
The Yugoloths where created in -2464cr, out of the boredom of Kraos, who wanted something that can cause chaos. In -2200cr, the Demons would begin invading the Planes, and the Yugoloths would begin being hired by anything morally questionable that also wanted to live, to the point where even the Demons would begin hiring Yugoloths. Yugoloths where on the top of the multiverse, until 50wr, where they would be abandoned by their creator god to "play around with mentally challenged monkeys that can sling flaming shits at each other" (Word taken directly from Ulkulra, The Current High Ultroloth). Their hatred for Kraos carries over to his Religious Followers, with a "Kill on sight" rule with them.
Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
Virtually everything hates Yugoloths. Devils and Demons tolerate and hire Yugoloths to help them fight each other, but other than some evil humans, Yugoloths are almost the most hated being in the multiverse.
