Homebrew Baphomeri Species Details

The baphomeri are goat-headed demons with the bodies of men. They are almost exclusively male, with a few female exceptions. A thin layer of shaggy hair covers their body below the head. Their ovine heads are skeletal and their horns are huge. From within the skull is darkness, so one cannot even trace movement of their sights focus. The bottom half of their body is a goats legs. They are lithe, fast and powerful creatures.

After demons were pushed back into Quohull the baphomeri were one of the many descendants that evolved from Qhultarr's original creation. Baphomeri mostly reside in Quohull with rare exceptions in Aegattia, due to their unsightly and frightening appearance they are less welcomed than other demonic and demon blood races in Aegattia. Baphomeri that reside in Quohull are generally bitter and jealous towards those that live in, and to a lesser extent those who can move freely to, Aegattia. 

While being generally being bitter and unwelcome, usually leading to a baphomeri being self serving and apathetic, some can be quite altruistic, stemming from their desire to be accepted, while others can completely evil, overcome with their hatred for other races.
