Homebrew Elemental Demon Species Details

"In this world exists bizarre entities with which many sorts of pacts can be made. Some of flames, of frost and water, of air and thunder, earth and life, and many many more. Some attempt to blend in with humanity, others destroy it, but these creatures, these things walk among us. And we will all be in grave danger until this demonic threat is controlled."

Physical Description

Elemental Demons are humanoid figures wrapped in any element that they control. They can vary between five and ten feet tall, and tend to have few distinguishing features between each other. Their appearance varies from bloodline to bloodline however some may have odd patterns within their elemental cloak, particular parts being colored differently from the rest of their body.

History

Nobody truly knows how Elemental Demons were originally created. However, a popular theory is that some kind of Chaos Elemental blessed an ordinary demon with their powers and that all elemental demons are the descendant of that one. Another theory is that they're the offspring of nymphs and demons which could also be true. Some wizards and knowledgeable people over the ages have claimed to discover the true origin but none have actually been successful thus far.

Most researchers have taken to observing them. Throughout the centuries they've become ingrained in tales being portrayed either in a chaotic light, showing up on a whim to help the hero, or as an evil force of nature of whatever world they came from. (Up to the DM as to what lore they select for their campaign)

Society

Elemental demons are scattered without any significant cultural heritage. The ones leaning more towards the chaotic end of the spectrum often attempt to integrate with the other races as best they can, picking up bits and pieces of the cultures around them while those drifting towards the evil side are usually hermits chased away from all bastions fairly safely. When demons of opposing elements meet it's bound to end in bloody conflict unless both are particularly amicable. Likewise matching elements tend to get along well unless particularly mutually spiteful. It's assumed those of similar elements feel a sort kinship with each other like one would from being from the same nation or guild.

Some civilized Elemental demons have taken to various groups such as Crime syndicates, Adventure guilds, Merchant guilds or most bazaar religious groups as most religions don't recognize them as "true demons", though this tends to have been primarily observed with older Elemental demons.
