Born of hellish blood, a cambion is the progeny of a fiend and a humanoid. Cambions are born evil, with their souls marked by the corruption of the lower planes—they are wicked, ruthless and horrifying, combining the worst traits of mortals with the cruelty of fiends. A cambion is everything the common folk falsely accuse tieflings of being.

Of Devils and Demons

Unlike tieflings, who usually possess fiendish traits from an ancient pact their ancestors made, cambions are the direct children of a fiend and a mortal. The fiend can be of any kind, devil or demon, with the mortal humanoid also of any race. These unions are most common between a succubus/incubus and a human. 

Cambions inherit traits from both of their parents, but almost always have some form of horns, bat-like wings and a leathery tail. Their skin tone is most commonly a vibrant, blood red, with their eyes usually an insidious sulfur-yellow. However, their coloration and fiendish aspects can vary wildly — from black, yellow or blue skin, to hooves instead of feet, to extra digits and eyes. They can possess otherworldly beauty or be entirely grotesque.

Those born of devil's are strictly lawful, and serve greater devils in the Nine Hells. The cambions born of demons are extremely chaotic, and battle for a place in the Abyss with nothing more then their own heinous strength. Most cambions, those born of succubi/incubi, fall anywhere in-between in terms of alignment, and may be raised in either fiendish plane. Alternatively, a cambion is raised in the Material Plane by their mortal parent, who helplessly watches on as their child inevitably commits increasingly cruel and horrific acts.

Regardless of where they were raised, all cambions are born with a sense of overwhelming of ambition, and an entitlement to rule over mortals. An entitlement that can very much lead to reality unless stopped, beginning with the forming of small gangs and groups before masterminding large uprisings.

Cambion Names

Cambion names vary as much as their appearances may, with each kind of fiend or mortal who raises them each following their own naming traditions. If your cambion was raised by its mortal parent, choose a name from that race such as from humans, elves or dwarves.
