The pit lord is a creature in Might & Magic: Heroes VI. It is the Champion creature of the Inferno faction, and is the upgraded version of the pit fiend.

Pit Lords are Pit Fiends who have risen from within their own complex internal hierarchy. Considered to be the embodiment of pure Hatred, they are surpassed in power and ruthlessness by only the most vehement Arch-Demons.^OffBck

	Hateful Retaliation
	“Never underestimate a raging Pit Fiend’s intelligence. They may fight like a possessed creature, but they have one hell of a good memory!” Those legendary words of advice were given by the Arch-Angel Harrodal to Pavel Griffin the week before he was slain in battle against a legion of demons. Pit Fiends never forget to retaliate against a creature that has done them damage in a battle, no matter where they are on the field of battle. They seem to keep a mental hate list, and there is always room for another name. When retaliating, creature deals Fire damage to all creatures that have previously attacked him.Damage is equal to damage from creature’s standard attack.OffBck
	Blinded by Rage
	A Pit Fiend is driven by Hatred the way a cart is driven by a horse. Nothing can control its anger on a battlefield and it is immune to all mental attacks that would affect even the strongest of wills. Ur-Hekal, the Demon Overlord of Hate, is said to be the only power capable of making a Pit Fiend stop an attack, and since Ur-Hekal has never found a good reason not to attack someone, his favored creatures are considered uncontrollable even by the Princes of Sheogh. The creature is immune to harmful Mind Influence and effects reducing Movement.OffBck
	Blade of Hatred
	“Suddenly, all I could think about was that Rapheous owed me three crystals, and that I needed to make him pay. So I threw a fire ball at him.” In this excerpt from a Seven Cities’ Court martial Trial the wizards were the first to understand the maliciousness of the Pit Fiends’ power of Hatred. When confronting a Pit Fiend the attacker might become momentarily infected by its hate. At that point anything can happen, and one might even attack an old friend over some ridiculous old squabble, until brought to reason by an attack from the true enemy on the battlefield. Attacked creatures are inflicted by Hatred and will attack random adjacent creatures. Hatred lasts for 1 turn and it is dispelled if damage is dealt to its target.OffBck
	Boundless Hate
	A Pit Lord is the embodiment of pure Hatred. When it leashes its Boundless Hate, all enemies on the battlefield suffer the consequences, and even his allies take note. As the saying goes in Sheogh, “Never forget to bring a present to a Pit Lord’s spawnday party. He’ll certainly hate the present, but he’ll hate you more if you forget.” Deals 15(X num) Fire damage to all enemy creatures.OffBck
