The hordeling is a demon introduced in The Book of Vile Darkness as the equivalent of demonic cannon fodder. They are considered the lowest of demons, with their first appearance as the Hordeling Mob and Hordeling Breakaway. [BoVD:60] In Dungeon Magazine 197, Hordelings were expanded with the creation of Greater Hordelings. These creatures are generated by choosing (or rolling for) the role, and composing the creature from various features through a random-roll table.[Du197]
