In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, a marilith is a powerful type of demon. In first edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons mariliths were known as Type V demons. In 2nd Edition AD&D the name "Type V demon" was revised to "marilith".
The name marilith is a mash-up of Mara, a demon of doubt and temptation from the story of Gautama Buddha, and Lilith, a Mesopotamian storm demon that appears in the story of Gilgamesh as well as in the Book of Isaiah.
