Homebrew Cambion (Abyssborn) Species Details
A Cambion is the offspring of a fiend (usually a succubus or incubus) and a humanoid (usually a human). Cambions inherit aspects of both parents, but their horns, leathery wings, and sinewy tails are hallmarks of their otherworldly parentage.
Since cambions are inherently evil, it is rare to see one traveling with a party of adventurers. However, few have been able to escape their fiendish past in search of a better life, or have been changed by some mystical happening into a more good-natured creature. Cambions changed in this way are often searching for some great path or power they believe will take them to their ultimate destiny, as they believe they have been changed for a reason.
Cambions are characterized by red skin covered in black markings, black hair, and yellow eyes with piercing red irises.
