Homebrew Ice Tiefling Species Details

The Ice Tieflings of Zelgos are fierce hunters, as they have to be if they want to survive in the harsh climate of their homeland. With a unique culture focused around achieving impressive tasks based around various abilities, outsiders often find themselves not quite understanding their ways. The ranking system they have in their community, achieving higher and higher ranks by doing greater tasks, the nature of the ice tieflings are respectful but innately slightly greedy.

Rather than having the physical characteristics described in the Player’s Handbook, choose 1d4+1 of the following features: insect mandibles; compound eyes; a spiked tail; chitinous skin; antennae instead of horns; insectile legs; ice-blue or snow-white skin; frosty breath; cold hands; icicle horns; an aura of frigid air; body mottled with hoarfrost; yellow blood.
