[edit] The current Prince of Demons

At the moment, the title belongs to Demogorgon, a mighty tanar'ri known for his unsurpassed physical prowess and his innovations and experimentations, which have released inventive new horrors upon the multiverse.

[edit] Contenders

Graz'zt, the Dark Prince, is one of if not the most cunning and intelligent demons in the Abyss. He rules over three layers of the Abyss, using a web of intrigue and terror to command his vast armies.

Orcus, the Demon Prince of the Undead, is a ram-headed tanar'ri who commands a great cult following on the Material Plane. While he lacks the individual might of Demogorgon or an empire as vast as Graz'zt's, he may actually be the closest to ascending to godhood.

[edit] Former holders of the title

Obox-ob, the Prince of Vermin, is a powerful obyrith who now gathers his power back from a disgusting layer deep in the Abyss. He hopes to one day win back his title.

Miska the Wolf-Spider was granted the title after the fall of Obox-ob, but with the fall of the Queen of Chaos, he lost most of his muscle and came under the attack of Demogorgon.
