Zariel was statted in a Mordenkainen's tome of Foes preview, if you guys don't care about spoilers, here she is.
Yeah MTOF was really good for fleshing out Avernus / Hell politics. I was interested to see that Abishai are LE whereas Tiamat herself is chaotic (but is ironically stuck in LE hell)
Are you sure. Tiamat has always been Lawful Evil.
She's deffo CE in 'Rise of Tiamat' - I know she used to be LE. Unless the religion is LE but she herself is NE? (Drow are NE lolth is CE afaik)
That was stated as being a mistake. She is listed as Lawful Evil in the PHB and DMG.

Which is what I thought too - then I wondered is 'generic' tiamat CE but FR tiamat LE just for added chaos?!
I can't seem to find it in an errata but it makes a lot more sense - thanks for clarifying :-)

Generic Tiamat would be LE. As he has always been LE in the past and the PHB and DMG entries are generic.
Speaking of all this, there are a couple questions I had about Tiamat.
First one's pretty trivial, probably: why is she classified as a Fiend and not a Dragon? She IS a dragon, right?
Second, why is she trapped in Hell to begin with? Is she someone's prisoner? If so, how did that happen, and what does her captor gain from it?
Not really sure, imo she should be a celestial. She is a goddess after all, not a dragon. Also, she is trapped in hell because she was banished there by Bahamut and other good aligned deities. Asmodeus basically gets a watch dog that makes invasion of the first circle of hell all but impossible.
