The princes of evil air, cold, earth, fire and water creatures are
powerful beings whose principal areas of domination are on the
Elemental Planes but who also have many followers on the Prime Material Plane.
Though often at odds with each other (mainly through
the actions of their underlings) the elemental princes of evil do share
certain common characteristics, each being able to perforrm detect invisible,
[dispel magic] (at 20th level),
[infravision] (duration one day),
[know alignment],
[suggestion] (duration 12 hours) and
teleportation (no error), all at will. <>
They have a special telepathic power which enables them to understand and converse with any intelligent creature.
Three times per day (each) they can read languages and [read magic];
once per day they can telekinese 6,000 gp weight.

The XP value shown for each prince is for destroying the material form only.
If a prince is killed permanently, the XP value is multiplied by 10.

In my campaign, I've always gone with the assumption that any unique monster from one of the 1e hardbacks that's tagged with the label Archdevil or Demon Prince is a lesser deity,
as are the Princes of Elemental Evil, The Cat Lord, Anthraxus, and Primus.

Thanks.

Based on our world's actual mythology, such evil entities can be a lot more than lesser deities.
Using the criteria mentioned, some are greater ones on a par with the benign deities.

Cheers,
Gary
