Tiefling

Tieflings are a mysterious and intriguing race, born from the union of humans and fiends, often demons or devils. Their infernal heritage grants them distinctive features, such as horns, tails, and other demonic traits, making them stand out in a crowd.

Tieflings’ appearances vary widely, reflecting the diverse and dark nature of their fiendish ancestors. Despite their infernal lineage, Tieflings are not inherently evil. Their alignment can vary greatly, and many strive to rise above their fiendish heritage to embrace virtues and noble ideals.

Due to their unique appearance and often misunderstood heritage, Tieflings may face prejudice and distrust. However, this adversity often fuels their determination to prove themselves and demonstrate their worth.

With their enigmatic backgrounds, otherworldly appearances, and struggle against stereotypes, Tieflings offer an intriguing and complex addition to any adventuring party. Their quest for identity and redemption makes them both compelling and mysterious, adding a touch of darkness and mystique to any campaign.
