Dungeons & Dragons Ukobach Miniature

In *Dungeons & Dragons*, a Ukobach is a minor devil typically found in the lower planes, especially in infernal realms like the Nine Hells. Derived from demonology in real-world myth, the D&D version of the Ukobach retains its association with fire and menial tasks but is adapted for the game’s cosmology.

Ukobachs are small, imp-like devils that serve higher-ranking fiends as laborers, particularly in maintaining hellfire and overseeing infernal machines or forges. They aren’t physically imposing but are useful for their specific roles, such as tending to furnaces, cooking meals, or providing fuel for infernal rituals. Their bodies emit an aura of heat and they can easily manipulate flames, either to ignite objects or sustain a controlled fire.

These devils are intelligent enough to follow orders and schemes but lack significant ambition, rarely striving for higher positions within the infernal hierarchy. Their loyalty stems from fear of punishment rather than genuine devotion. In combat, Ukobachs are not formidable threats, relying on fire-based abilities like producing small explosions or throwing fire bolts. Their primary strength lies in their utility, as they can be used to sabotage or maintain infernal devices, and they are often summoned by wizards or warlocks needing help with such tasks.

Ukobachs represent the lowest rungs of the infernal social ladder in D&D, functioning as servants and tools in the grander schemes of more powerful devils. Though not powerful, their fire-related abilities and utility make them dangerous in the right circumstances.
