Meta:Fiend

Non-canonical fiends in Pathfinder works

Several fiendish divinities are named in non-canonical Pathfinder works, including Nahemah, Xaphan, and Zagan named in Bestiary 71. Per the PathfinderWiki canon policy, these beings are not considered canonical unless mentioned in a canon work. -Oznogon (talk) 18:44, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Retroactive change

Removed the following:

Oni

Spirits of rage and jealousy given physical bodies, oni live only to sate their endless destructive lusts.

Rakshasa

The rakshasas are "earthbound evils", decadent and debauched souls with the shapes of fiends but bound in mortal bodies.

Prior to the release of Monster Core, Paizo stated that oni and rakshasas would be retroactively changed in the Pathfinder Second Edition Remaster Project to no longer be fiends.

Monster Core changed the background, nature, and mechanical properties of oni and rakshasas to remove all fiendish elements. Rakshasas became unholy spirits, and oni became giant humanoids.
