Homebrew Cambíon Species Details
A cambion, unlike a tiefling, is born directly from a human and a fiend or, more rarely, the offspring of an incubus and a succubus. The result of this union appears to be stillborn, not showing a sign of life through pulse or breath, though responsive to touch and, as legend tells, as heavy as a horse. This continues until the age of seven when they start to resemble their human parent more closely, although their often red skin, leathery wings and sinewy tails betray their otherworldly heritage.
