Well....there's the Monster Manual and Mordenkanen's Tome of Foes. I think I'll look up three from each and you tell me if you recognize them.

Monster Manual: Flumph, Nothic and a Galeb Duhr.

Mordenkan's Tome of Foes: Nagpa, Rot Troll and Demogorgon.

They’re from the Abyssal plane.

The devils try to control everything so they tend to corrupt and enslave anything and everything, including demons. Demons want to destroy everything.

So the devils brought them in to enslave them, other demons found out about it and now the Blood War has been raging between devils and demons for centuries.

Well, demons and devils come in all types. They're both evil but since one group wants to control everything and the other wants to destroy everything they naturally conflict.

Some examples of devils include Bhalor's, imps, and a personal favorite of mine, althought not a devil but a fiend, Rakshasas.

Straight from the Monster Manual.

The rakshasa employs delicacy and misdirection in its pursuit of dominion over others. Few creatures ever see the fiend in its true form, for it can take on any guise it wants, although it prefers to masquerade as someone powerful or influential: a noble, cardinal, or rich merchant, for example. A rakshasa’s true form combines the features of a human and a tiger, with one noteworthy deformity: its palms are where the backs of the hands would be on a human.

Evil Spirits in Mortal Flesh. Rakshasas originated long ago in the Nine Hells, when powerful devils created a dark ritual to free their essence from their fiendish bodies in order to escape the Lower Planes. A rakshasa enters the Material Plane to feed its appetite for humanoid flesh and evil schemes. It selects its prey with care, taking pains to keep its presence in the world a secret.

Evil Reborn. For a rakshasa, death on the Material Plane means an agonizing and torturous return to the Nine Hells, where its essence remains trapped until its body reforms — a process that can take months or years. When the rakshasa is reborn, it has all the memories and knowledge of its former life, and it seeks retribution against the one who slew it. If the target has somehow slipped through its grasp, the rakshasa might punish its killer’s family, friends, or descendants.

Like devils, rakshasas killed in the Nine Hells are forever destroyed.

As for Demons, they are just pure chaos.

One example of the worst kind, if you've seen Stranger Things, would be the demogorgon.

Demogorgon

The Sibilant Beast and the self-styled Prince of Demons, Demogorgon yearns for nothing less than undoing the order of the multiverse. An insane assemblage of features and drives, the Prince of Demons inspires fear and hatred among other demons and demon lords.

Demogorgon towers three times the height of a human, his body as sinuous as a snake’s and as powerful as a great ape’s. Suckered tentacles take the place of his arms. His saurian lower torso ends in webbed and clawed feet, and a forked tail whose whip-like tips are armed with cruel blades. The Prince of Demons has two baleful baboon heads, both of them mad. It is only the conflict between the two halves of his dual nature that keeps the demon lord’s ambitions in check.

Demons will basically corrupt, possess and destroy whatever they can get their hands on.

Devils have a very structured society. It's a meritocracy with a touch of nepotism. One of the worst punishments a devil can get in the hells is demotion.

When the soul of an evil mortal sinks into the Nine Hells, it takes on the physical form of a wretched lemure. Archdevils and greater devils have the power to promote lemures to lesser devils. Archdevils can promote lesser devils to greater devils, and Asmodeus alone can promote a greater devil to archdevil status. This diabolic promotion invokes a brief, painful transformation, with the devil’s memories passing intact from one form to the next.

Low-level promotions are typically based on need, such as when a pit fiend transforms lemures into imps to gain invisible spies under its command. High-level promotions are almost always based on merit, such as when a bone devil that distinguishes itself in battle is transformed into a horned devil by the archdevil it serves. A devil is seldom promoted more than one step at a time in the hierarchy of infernal forms.

---

Demotion is the customary punishment for failure or disobedience among the devils. Archdevils or greater devils can demote a lesser devil to a lemure, which loses all memory of its prior existence. An archdevil can demote a greater devil to lesser devil status, but the demoted devil retains its memories — and might seek vengeance if the severity of the demotion is excessive.

No devil can promote or demote another devil that has not sworn fealty to it, preventing rival archdevils from demoting each other’s most powerful servants. Since all devils swear fealty to Asmodeus, he can freely demote any other devil, transforming it into whatever infernal form he desires.

Yes. And they are imps.

Well we can all enjoy the 9 hells in this game. It will be good practice for when we end up in the real hell.

1v1 whats stronger a devil or a demon ?

Depends. The demogorgon could take nearly any devil. Imps wouldn’t stand a chance against Umber hulks, but there are demons that would be destroyed by any devil.

They are varied and come in all types. Hence the Blood War.

[cire87]

lets say highest tier of both 1v1 what would they be and how would it turn out ?

[cire87]

alright that got out of hand, lets scale it down to highest ranking non ruler of the demons and devils or if thats too tricky lets say typical footmen of either side

[cire87]

nice much better thanks
