In the Dungeons & Dragons
fantasy role-playing game, the nalfeshnee is a one of the most powerful types of demon. In first edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, nalfeshnees were known as type IV demons. From second edition AD&D, the name "type IV demon" was revised to "nalfeshnee", taking the name of the greatest individual of their rank as the name for the entire breed.

Nalfeshnees are enormous demons that judge new souls arriving on the Abyss. This creature blends the appearance of an ape and a boar, with a pair of ridiculously small wings on its back.

The original three type IV demons were:

Bilwhr
Johud
Nalfeshnee
