I wasn't sure if this is okay to post but this is a half devil character I came up with.
She is part Erinyes, and part human.
Did her with pencils then finished her off with Painter Pro... I was gonna give her wings, but I got bored.

I don't know but I'd go with typical fiendish logic - they don't have to, but they can if they want to :twisted:

As a rule, all Baatezu are sterile except for the higher ups. However, that only refers to them procreating with each other. Baatezu can and do mate with humans in order to create half-fiendish offspring and tiefling descendants.

Lol I like that idea Almighty! And well Elleara's momma was very willing.. Too much in my opinion..
Oh phew Primus!! Thanks for pointing that out, I wanted to make sure cause if that was the case I'd have to switch a few things here and there. Lol!
I've never read that they couldn't breed, cause then there wouldn't be half devils etc.. But I very well could have missed something too, so it's great for people to bring this stuff up.
And thanks nick, like I said there are things that could just go right over my head and it helps when someone points out those discrepencies.

It's not the case if you go by Faces of Evil (female baatezu are sterile in all situations, while male baatezu are fertile in all situations - all half-baatezu are the offspring of baatezu males), but I wouldn't sweat it that much. If an erinyes really wants to create a half-baatezu, magic will find a way.

Heh, I know this is late in coming, but who said all erinyes are female just because they look that way? After all, there are male succubi, we just call them incubi because of the difference in procreation roles.

Faces of Evil said so, not that I worship it as a source.
Okay, I do worship it as a source.
Tanar'ri can change their genders with a few days worth of effort, so that explains incubi. Baatezu only change genders when they're promoted into new castes (pit fiends are an exception, but changing their sexual natures requires them to be reforged in the Pit of Flame). Officially, all erinyes are female and sterile.

If the Baatezu are absolute slaves to form, then explain their experimentations.

I don't have to, since I never said they were "absolute slaves to form." I just answered your question, "who said all erinyes are female?" Faces of Evil did, on page 20.

I think that explains Demogorgon's hyena head/baboon head debacle.

It very well might. His heads might change species all the time.

What is Faces of Evil? Where can I find it? Also if they are sterlie then how do you get the lesser demons/devils in the first place?

The best book on D&D fiends ever written. rpgnow.com, amongother sites. Male baatezu are fertile.

It's cheaper at Paizo than at rpgnow.
Baatezu are promoted from lesser forms of baatezu. Ultimately, almost all of them come from petitioners. None of them come from sexual reproduction. Only males are fertile - these males can produce half-devils, but they can't make baby baatezu. There are no baby baatezu.
Other forms of devils, such as kytons and bezekiras, can often reproduce sexually. Both males and females are fertile among these species.
Tanar'ri can reproduce sexually, and both males and females are fertile.

As can yugoloths, incidentally, but greater yugoloths prefer not to.

That might be true for the rank and file of the species, but can't one assume that both of the sexes of unique baatezu are fertile? Glasya is the daughter of Asmodeus and Bensozia, and while "certain" sources claim that Asmodeus isn't really a baatezu, one can assume that Bensozia was. Also, Fierna is the daughter of Belial. Though I've never read who her mother was, it seems to reason that her mother would have been a baatezu as well, since Fierna is full-blooded baatezu.

Perhaps; there's a good argument for assuming that noble baatezu can mate, assuming they have permission (the Lord of the Sixth before Moloch, Beherit, was destroyed for doing so and trying to hide it).
You could also assume that Fierana is indeed a half-fiend and Glasya was the product of a unique magical ritual rather than ordinary sexual reproduction. Or maybe Fierana is only Belial's adopted daughter, a favored minion accepted as part of his "family."
I guess it depends on your preference.

As far as sterility/fertility of baatazu is concerned there are loopholes in every law, and I'm sure there are a couple for that area too.
Also who's to say that they were always sterile? Of coarse the official line is that they've never changed, and you are legally obligated to belive the official line...please come with us sir.
Addendum:
Actually I'd say that Erinais would be a more likely candidate to give birth to a half fiend than many other simply by their role as corruptors. How many monarchs have wanted a son and would be willing to do anything for one? I'd say if it was "for the job" then they could easilly become pregnant.

IMHO, I hold that the baatezu have to be "authorized" to procreate. In keeping with their strict laws, it would stand to reason that an order for a "job" would go through the necessary channels before receiving approval to proceed. With that line of thinking, results for the greater good (evil) of the baatezu would be processed while the rare occurrences of selfish intent would be denied.

At least those "rare" occurances that don't also help the greater evil or the fiend doing the processing.

I redid some older images, thought the originals were bland so I removed a portion and recolored them with what I've learned through many Corel tutorials. Lots of images so be warned...
Here's Adriara my Erinyes Devil

Aren't Erinyes sterile?
It is amazing how little free aproach to details in Planescape cannon (like fertility of fiends) can upset people. (Sorry eweryone, but it is funny).
Here is my opinion on Faces of Evil book: it is great book ,becaouse they wrote it like it was written by planar reserchers (like Van Richens journals or Gazzeters of Ravenloft), and if I´m corect Tanar´ri chapter is written by slaad (he is one of my faworite), secondly it was written in that way so it could be assumed that some of info in book is not true.
So we should not take every written word for granted, that is my option, please dont hit me. 
Anyways, good job Dire. How much time it takes to collor them? (Those bat wings looks odd on Erinyes, for a moment I thougth it was succubus, but I respect your original vision as fellow artist).

Even I go picking on details.
