They seem very similar to Rakshashas in many ways. Would they be rivals or part of the Rajahs forces?

I haven't actually seen MotP yet, so i can't say. Sorry!

For what it's worth, I'd think they'd be rivals. They're all a bunch of conniving, manipulative backstabbers. It's like two whole races of Starscreams.

I would think, from a thematic standpoint, they'd just be another type of Rakshasha (another caste, or whatever term you want to use).
Given how they're refered to more as bargainers and merchants than anything else, they'd probably fill either a role as an organizer (helping to manage the old demonic empire) or, in the present day, be the guy that shows up when you're in a pinch to offer you just the thing you need to save your hide--for a nominal fee that can be discussed later, of course:D

They were once Arcanoloths but now are removed from the demon caste and operate idependently.

Would that be like Starscream:

Well, we should make the Raavastas the first picture, because they're that much cooler-looking.

TF: Animated looks like a 3 year old busted out the crayons.
