Yugoloths are fiends embodying Neutral Evil alignment] and denizens of the Lower Planes, including Gehenna (not to be confused with the Ravenloft domain of G'Henna.) Yugoloths are known both for their mercenary bent and perchance for betrayal, and both the baatezu and the tanar'ri employ them in their eternal Blood War. Arcanaloths maintain records and contracts for the yugoloth race and also act as negotiators with various fiendish parties[1].
Perhaps as a reflection of their frequent roles as servants and mercenaries, yugoloths are highly summonable relative to other fiendish races, the odds of summoning any random fiend being fairly likely to be a yugoloth[1]. Summoned guardian yugoloths serve in this capacity, though summoning them is highly dangerous in that they may disobey or even turn on their summoners[2]. Various Books of Keeping contain instructions on yugoloth summoning and control[1].
