This is a link from pathfinder rules, but the stuff about monsters seems to be the same as DnD, only the gods are different.

I fought Demogorgon in BG2. It was a demon lord, and when it is a demon it cannot be a great old one, I guess.


5e really hasn't used the term Qlippoth that I can recall, although at least one type is in the game.
