D&D adopted the Beast Lords from the work of Moorcock. However, they saw very little use despite the prevalence of beastfolk races. Instead, these races generally served Demon Lords like Baphomet, Dagon, Pazuzu, and Tsathogga. Since I'm using a simplified omniverse cosmology rather than the deranged great wheel, most of these distinctions won't be necessary in my setting.
Since it would be an exercise in insanity to try making sense of Pathfinder's insane theology, I decided to use a simple solution: all of those "[demon/angel/whatever] lords" are titles, and I can simplify the pantheon by handing multiple titles to one deity.
For example: Chaos Lord of Entropy, Horseman of Death, and Grim Harvestman all fall into the Grim Reaper archetype, thus they are the same god or aspects/avatars of the same god.
In the case of the beast lords and demon lords, several of them will be conflated and simplified.
