Homebrew Abyssal Kin Species Details

A tail wraps around an unsuspecting citizen and drags them into a dark alleyway muffling their screams. A cultic knife is found at a murder scene covered in blackened blood. The entire population of a small town disappears, only to be found a few years later wandering the streets of that same town giving off strange moaning. A squirming shadow slivers into the shadows. These may not seem like it but they all came to be by an Abyssal kin, staying in the shadows, but capable of destroying civilizations if organized, that is the way of the Abyssal kin.

Abyssal Bloodline

Abyssal kin are derived from human bloodlines, and in the broadest possible sense, they still look human. However, their abyssal heritage has left a clear imprint on their appearance. Abyssal kin look very much like their abyssal ancestors, they have horns and tails alike to Tieflings, and they have scaly even rock-like skin. Abyssal kin also have wings of varying sizes which grants them a poor ability to fly. Their skin color tends to represent their favorite color and/or their mood.
