Also Known As: Devil Spawn
“They are creatures from fiends yet do not let that confuse you, most are kind and generous souls living in a fearful world.”
— The Librarian
Tieflings were human-based planetouched, native outsiders that were infused with the touch of the fiendish planes, most often through descent from fiends, and others who had bred with humans. Tieflings tended to have an unsettling air about them, and most people were uncomfortable around them, whether they were aware of the tiefling's unsavory ancestry or not. The physical appearance of a tiefling often depended on the exact ancestry that spawned it, a bloodline that might have remained dormant for generations. While some looked like normal humans, most retained physical characteristics derived from their ancestor, with the most common such features being horns, tails, and pointed teeth. Some tieflings also had eyes that were solid orbs of a single color while others had eyes more similar to those of humans. Other, more unusual characteristics included a sulfurous odor, cloven feet, or the ability to be a wide range of colors.
