The Daemon role remains 'daemons,' (since that word is not copyrightable, being an ancient term) and are represented by the four Daemon Horsemen, Death, Famine, Plague and My Ex-Wife. Or something. I forget their actual names, but Charon is one of them, and paddles the River Styx, in traditional fashion (which, again, predates D&D by about 2500 years or so, and is free to use).

Anything similar to yugoloths in pathfinder with a diferent name?Not Open License, so verbotten.
.
Presumably, each of the Daemon Horsemen will have minion level critters (similar to the charonodaemons of yesteryear), but focussed on their own specialities (plague, war, famine, pesilence).
Versions of the arcanodaemon, mezzodaemon, nycadaemon, yagnodaemon, etc. seem unlikely, since they don't really have any relationship to the Pathfinder Daemons (although some sort of Styx-dwellers remotely similar to piscodaemons seem more likely).
Things Daemons are tied to in the setting, other than war, plague, famine and pestilence, are oblivion, hunger, decay, annhilation / destruction, etc. They are less the mercenary bug-folk of Planescape and more pure incarnations of oblivion, hungering for souls and the destruction of all life. Special abilities would likely revolve around taking things from the player characters, whether by disenchanting items, draining levels, damaging ability scores, crippling limbs, sundering armor, stealing memories, corrupting flesh, draining spells, breaking wills, eroding sanity, weakening self-control or polluting morality (causing people to attack each other), etc. as well as more direct forms of just flat out stealing life from others, causing fatigue and exhaustion (through hunger and famine) or direct negative energy damage (death effects).
Not so much 'One arm is bigger than the other and has giant strength.'
