They are tasked with bringing justice to the heart of Evil on the Lower Planes. If commanded by the power they serve, they can enter any layer of any lower plane without passing through the intermediate layers.

Supply and lithe, devas look like beautiful humans with long, feathery wings, golden skin, and amber eyes.

The bulk of neutral good devas come from the ranks of the monadics.

Monadic devas have dark brown skin, jet hair, and piercing green eyes.

While astral and movanic devas appreciate battle, monadic devas adore it and view combat as a welcome break from their tedious watch. They prefer to charm any elemental foes, and they move in to harry enemies with powerful blows from their maces.

Slender and exceedingly agile, movanic devas have milky white skin and silvery hair and eyes. When at peace among mortals, they prefer to take the form of a humanoid or animal.

Planetars resemble massively muscular humans with smooth emerald skin, white-feathered wings, and hairless heads.

Their broad shoulders and meaty fists mark hound archons as able combatants. Likewise, their strong legs indicate that fleeing enemies won't get very far.

Lantern archons are very friendly and usually eager to give what assistance they can. However, their bodies are just gaseous globes, and they are much too weak to render any material aid. When provoked, on the other hand, they can be deadly foes, blasting opponents with rays of focused energy.

The guardinals are staunch opponents of evil wherever it is found. Left untroubled on their home plane, guardinals are as peaceful as Elysium itself, roaming its magnificent landscapes in small bands of companions. When evil threatens their home, however, the guardinals are as fierce as any archon, and numerous guardinals leave Elysium on righteous crusades to fight evil on the Material Plane or other realms.

Guardinals combine the features of handsome, noble humans and equally noble animals. Individuals vary in the degree to which the animal features dominate - some cervidals, for example, look like satyrs, while others seem almost human except for the curling horns on their heads. Guardinals who dwell on the Beastlands are the most animalistic, often moving about on all fours.

Avorals have the bodies of tall, muscular humans, but their arms are long, powerful wings.

An avoral's wings feature small hands at the midpoints. When its wings are folded, these appendages are about where human hands would be and can do nearly anything hands can.

Avorals' lower legs feature strong talons and feathery vanes to act as a tail in flight. Their faces are more human than avian, but the hair resembles a feather cowl, and the eyes are bright gold. Their chests are exceptionally deep and powerful, anchoring their wing muscles. Their bones are strong but hollow, so even the largest avorals weigh no more than 120 pounds.

Their visual acuity is unbelievable. They can see detail on objects up to 10 miles away and are said to be able to discern the colour of a creature's eyes at 200 paces.

On the ground, an avoral can lash out with its wings to deliver punishing blows. However, it prefers to meet its foes in the air, where it can employ its rock-hard talos and make full use of its aerial speed and agility.

Guardinals are the native outsiders of Elysium, the living embodiment of goodness. There are seven varieties of guardinal: the avoral, the cervidal, the equinal, the leonal, the lupinal, the musteval, and the ursinal.

Among the most common of the guardinals of Elysium are the satyrlike cervidals. Their home, Amoria, is the uppermost layer of that plane. Cervidals take their guardianship of Amoria seriously and are rarely found elsewhere except in times of great need.

A cervidals' body is slim, muscular, and covered with short, dark red fur. Aside from its regal bearing, the creature's most striking feature is the pair of long, curved horns atop its head. A cervidal has hooves instead of feet, but its hands are like a human's, except that the backs are protected by hard plates of horn. This allows it to use its hands as punching weapons to deliver brutal attacks.

Cervidals are peaceful and slow to anger, but in times of need they form the bulk of any guardinal army. One on one, a cervidal is a match for any comparable baatezu or tanar'ri, but cervidals seldom have the luxury of fighting an equal number of opponents.

Equinals resemble a human with some of the qualities of a draft horse. Their chests and shoulders are of heroic proportion, and their long arms end in think, iron-hard fingers that make a creditable hoof when curled into a fist. Their legs are even more horselike, with a long foot ending in a true hoof.

Along with cervidals, equinals are the most common guardinals. They are strong, boisterous, and generally good-natured champions of good. They stand just shy of 8 feet tall when standing on their hindquarters, but their chests are like barrels and they weigh over 600 pounds.

In combat, equinals disdain the use of weapons and wade into melee with their iron-hard fists. They embrace any reasonable opportunity to stand hoof-to-toe with evil creatures and beat them senseless. They never back down from a fight, even when obviously outmatched.

musteval, and the ursinal.

One of the most powerful guardinal forms, a leonal is every bit as regal as a lion of the Material Plane. And as a foe, it can be just as terrifying, bellowng mighty roars and slashing with razor sharp claws.

A leonal is a squat, muscular humanoid covered in short, tawny fur. It has the head of a lion, complete with a golden, flowing mane and a short muzzle. Its yawn exposes rows of long, sharp teeth.

Leonals like their battles as straightfoward as can be. They begin with a roar to put their foes off balance, then follow up with a frenzy of claw and bite attacks. They closely coordinate with others in their pride, watching one another's flanks and setting up devastating attacks.

As the name implies, lupinals are half-human, half-wolf creatures. They are constantly on the prowl for evil intrusions into their territory, be it Elysium or a piece of the Material Plane that they have made their own. Lupinals are more likely than other guardinals to make their homes outside Elysium and assist other beings in repelling evil incursions.

Perhaps because of their pack-based society, lupinals are more lawful than other natives of Elysium. In group activities, they operate in close cooperation and perfect harmony. Even solitary lupinals are rarely more than an hour away from allies.

At first glance, a lupinal might be mistaken for a werewolf, with its long muzle, fur, and backward-bending canine legs. But where lycanthropes are savage and animal-like, lupinals are intelligent, regal, and poised - though they are quick to anger and ferocious when aroused.

Lupinals are exceptionally skilled in combat. They use pack tactics with great skill. Their approach often involves ambush, deception, and misdirection as well.

Ursinals have distinctive bearlike attributes. Their bodies are covered with fur that varies in color from light gold to red to golden-brown. Hair grows thick and long on their forearms, back, and lower legs but thin and fine on its torso and face. Their faces, which have pronounced muzzles and high-set ears, are kindly looking.

Ursinals are the scholars and philosophers of the guardinals, benevolent and wise. They serve as advisers to the leonals and record-keepers of Elysium. They enjoy sharing their knowledge, often at great length with endless digressions.

Ursinals stand just over 8 feet tall and weigh close to 700 pounds. The dislike combat and avoid physical confrontations as long as possible, but they are as fierce once they enter melee as any dire bear.

A prismatic golem has no weight and cannot speak, although it nods to acknowledge a valid command.

When commanded, a prismatic golem moves up to a foe and strikes him him with its tendrils. The golem is disarmingly fast and elusive, so it never hesitates to distance itself from those who can hurt it.

Dragonkin are humanoids of 8 to 9 feet in height with draconic features. Their scaled hides resembled those of the dragons they are kin to, and their faces are decidedly draconic. They also typically share the strengths, weaknesses, and mindset of their larger kindred.

Though they can be found nearly anywhere, silver dragons love high mountains and vast, open skies with billowing clouds. They enjoy flying and sometimes soar for hours just for the pleasure of it.

Silver and red dragons often come into conflict. This is only partly because they lair in similar territories. Silver dragons despise red dragons for their love of carnage and penchant for destruction. Duels between the two varieties are furious and deadly, but silver dragons generally get the upper hand, usually by working together against their foes, and often by accepting assistance from nondragons.

Silver dragons prefer aerial lairs on secluded mountain peaks or amid the clouds themselves. A cloud lair always has an enchanted area with a solid floor for laying eggs and storing treasure.

Silver dragons often dwell in towns or in dungeons. When doing so, they typically take a humanoid form and blend in with the rest of the population. They always situate themselves near one or more open areas where they have space to assume their true forms when necessary.

Blink dogs have yellow-brown fur and are larger and stockier than other kinds of wild dogs. They are social animals, traveling in packs, and eat equal amounts of meat and plant matter. They avoid human lands but drive off evil humanoids that enter their territory.

They speak their own language, a complex mixture of barks, yips, whines, and growls that can transmit complex information. When not hunting, they are playful with each other but very protective of their pups, which outsiders sometimes steal to train as guard animals. Blink dogs and displacer beasts are natural enemies.
