Infernal Bloodline

Demonsprings are derived from demonic bloodlines, and in the broadest possible sense, they still look high-elfish. However, their demonic heritage has left a clear imprint on their appearance. Demonsprings have extra pointed ears somewhat like elves. They have skin either charred black or bone white. Their canine teeth are sharply pointed, and their eyes are orange so bright it looks like fire. On their backs, each demonsprings has clawed membranous wings. Their hands look human except when they get agitated, that is when each of their fingers turns into sharp metal claws. Their hair is red, orange, and yellow all at the same time so that it looks like fire.

Panic Room

Demonsprings have a unique psychic ability. They can send someone into the person's worst nightmares. In their nightmares a person can die or if they face their fears be somewhat mentally scarred. This ability does not work on Tieflings. It is up to the dungeon master what someone needs to roll and what modifier to add to survive and escape.

Demonsprings reside in caves that are specially adjusted to suit their destructive personalities and tendency to fly places. Demonsprings live alone and prefer to work solo. Avoiding all human contact at all times secluding them to the most treacherous terrain.
