I was wondering what the outsiders of each alignment were, namely CN if there are any.

CE-Demons, Tanar'ri, Loumaras, Obryiths
LE-Devils/Baatezu, Baatorans, Nupperibos, Zargon
NE-Daemons/Yugoloths, Hordelings, Larvae
LN-Modrons, Formians, Inevitables
N-Rilmani
CN-Slaadi
NG-Guardinals
CG-Eladrin, Lillend, Bird Person (http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/rickandmorty/images/b/b1/Birdperson.png/revision/latest?cb=20140415133633)
LG-Archons

Edited for accuracy based on posts below.

The Demodands and corrected Angels are excluded for not being embodiments of an alignment(I.E. not physically created out of Chaos and Evil like Demons or Law and Good like Archons) but are worth mention.

Lawful Neutral has 3 different sets of Exemplars; The Modrons (geometric figure clockwork cyborg people), Formians (ant people), and the Inevitables (living constructs enforcing natural law).

True Neutral has the Rilmani.

Chaotic Neutral has the Slaadi.

Edit: Also, you make a mistake. CG isn't Celestials, that's a broad term for all Good exemplar, much as Fiend is a broad term for all Evil exemplars. CG has the primarily the Eladrin, which has several types, and also the Lillend & the ones I can't remember, people with wings of fire & bird talons for hands & feet.

You also left out the Guardinals, which are Neutral Good's exemplars.

Also, LG is Archons - angels are Good (Any). And NE are technically called Yugoloths.

. And NE are technically called Yugoloths.

Eh, Yugoloth was the name given in 2e to the former Daemons when TSR wanted less flack from people upset about the names demon, devil, & daemon. That's when Devils became Baatezu & Demons became Tanar'ri. Now those things are just the dominant, most common sorts of Devils & Demons. Really Daemon & Yugoloth can be used interchangeably.

NE also has the Hordelings and Larvae in addition to the Yugoloths.

CE also has the Loumaras (posessing spirits formed from evil dreams) and Obryiths (Lovecraftian demons who predate the current configuration of the multiiverse)

LE also has the Baatorans, the LE equivalent of the Obryiths, though in 3e their only appearance has been in the form of the deposed archfiend Zargon the Returner (Elder Evils, chapter 10) and the Nupperibos (which appear in Fiendish Codex 2 but have been retconned as Baatezu)

There are also the Demodands (Gereleths) which are usually NE but sometimes CE and were created by an entity named Apomps who was ejected from the pantheon of fiend-gods that created the Yugoloths

Hence the use of the word "technically." :smalltongue:

Expedition to the Demonweb Pits have Carnevus and Oculus demons, both of which are not Tanar'ri

Also, aspects of deities

What's up with the gereleths/demodands then? What's the story behind that name change?

Speaking of which, the Baernoloths might count, depending on whether or not you consider them to be redundant with the categories of Yugoloths and/or evil gods.

EDIT:

Also, IIRC, Imps aren't technically Baatezu and Quasits aren't technically tanar'ri
