Said to be created by the General of Gehenna eons ago, kliniloths are forever bound to the Bleak Eternity of Gehenna and cursed to wander across the slopes, intercepting any threats to the hosts of other yugoloths before they get close enough to do some damage. As such, kliniloths are largely independent from the normal fiendish chains of command, though most kliniloths are wise enough to heed the orders of any greater yugoloths that they have to interact with.
