In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the nalfeshnee is a one of the most powerful types of demon. In first edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, nalfeshnees were known as type IV demons. From second edition AD&D, the name "type IV demon" was revised to "nalfeshnee", taking the name of the greatest individual of their rank as the name for the entire breed.

Nalfeshnees are enormous demons that judge new souls arriving on the Abyss. This creature blends the appearance of an ape and a boar, with a pair of ridiculously small wings on its back.

The original three type IV demons were:

  • Bilwhr
  • Johud
  • Nalfeshnee

Other known nalfeshnees:

  • Jandor: (disguised) living in Sigil's Market Ward. From Faction War, page 24.
  • Judge Gabberslug: Uncaged: Faces of Sigil
  • Malistroi: Van Richten's Guide to Fiends
  • The Marquesse of Loss: Hellbound: The Blood War, The Dark of the War, page 24
  • Oulstra: Hellbound: The Blood War, The Dark of the War, page 24
  • Taphaeon: Hellbound: The Blood War, the Manual of the Planes (2001), Book of Vile Darkness
  • Tuerny the Merciless: Return of the Eight
  • Ygrax the Skullbiter: Planes of Chaos p25
  • Zerevimeel: "War of the Spider Queen Book VI: Resurrection"
  • Zukothoth: FR5 - The Savage Frontier page 54 (according to legend, the hero Beorunna destroyed him by collapsing a cavern on both of them)
