Homebrew Daemon Species Details

Daemons are a race born from the lineage of creatures from the Nine Hells, yet they have taken on a human-like appearance. Despite their outwardly human look, they retain certain demonic features such as horns protruding from their foreheads and a long, slender tail. These traits vary in size and shape, often reflecting the individual's heritage and power. Descendant demons possess a natural affinity for dark magic and are known for their cunning intellect and persuasive abilities. Their society is often shrouded in secrecy, as they navigate between their demonic heritage and their desire to integrate into human society.
