Homebrew Children of Oni Species Details
Oni are demonic ogres of Japanese folklore. The descendants of these ogres inherit many of their heritage's demonic traits, such as their imposing size, bright skin colors, and innate magical abilities. Children of oni are usually born with sharp tusks, and have one or more horns protruding from their foreheads. Their eye colors are the inverse of those of humans, with completely black eyeballs and bright irises of white or yellow. Their skin is usually a single, primary color such as red, blue, or green, and their hair can be any color on the spectrum. Some children of oni might choose to embrace their chaotic and violent natures, while others might choose to live privately, disguised in plain sight among unsuspecting townsfolk.
