Is there a word known in language of the drow for a demon or fiend (or imp if everything else fails). I have tried to look for it in the drow dictionaries that I googled, but with no luck. :(
Ihmeellinen meri

Kummalliset kalat liukuvat syvyydessä,
tuntemattomat kukat loistavat rannalla;
olen nähnyt punaista ja keltaista ja kaikki toiset värit -
mutta ihana meri on vaarallista nähdä,
se herättää tulevien seikkailujen janon:
mitä on tapahtunut sadussa, on tapahtuva minullekin.

Demon: errdegahr
Devil: nota'man
Fiend: nuij
Imp: inlul'quar

Enough for your purposes? :P (Also do note that devil and demon differ in D&D)

Alright, thank you. :)

But a further question: if I want emphasise that the fiend is small / little / insignificant how should I proceed?

If fiend (as you kindly pointed out) is nuij and small is inlul...

inl'nuij?

I suppose that word I'm really looking for is fiendling (not that my spell check thinks that as a proper word).

Heya,

You'd just use "little fiend"

which in drow is... lotha nuij

You might find this website helpful: House Maerdyn Translator

And this is the dictionary it uses, mostly: TL'Ilythiiri Zhaun'ol (The Drow Dictionary)
