Pit fiends are native to the 9th Plane of Hell, and are the personal servants of Asmodeus, the Lord of Hell. They are both incredibly strong and diabolically evil. All pit fiends have secret personal names which can be used to summon them.
In combat, pit fiends wield a scimitar and a spiked club with equal proficiency. They can also strike with their serpentine tail, which causes 2d4 points of constriction damage per round, unless the victim makes a successful Open Doors roll.
