When
TSR transitioned
Advanced Dungeons and Dragons from 1st edition (1E) to 2nd edition (2E), they coined new names for the monsters formerly known as
demons and
devils, to "
tanari'i" and "
baatezu", respectively. This may have been to placate the
Anti-Satanist Conspiracy, or maybe so they could trademark the invented terms.
