Homebrew Hellborn Species Details

The descendants of Zul’har are said to have emerged from the hollow depths of the planet itself. Ancient accounts claim that their deity stores its immense power within its horns, using them to seal the gates of Hell and pass judgment upon all who dare approach its entrance.

The Hellborn bear horns of countless shapes, each one growing without limit. Yet this unchecked growth is a curse as much as a gift. To restrain the overwhelming power coursing through them, many are forced to sever their own horns, leaving behind jagged stumps as grim proof of survival. Their hardened skin and luminous eyes stand as echoes of their god—unmistakable marks of Zul’har’s dominion etched into their very flesh.

Hellborn Traits

Their horns encapsulates immense power, but when they grow too long, that power will begin to betray the host’s body. Overwhelming the body, losing reasoning and succumbing to madness. Attacking any living thing within their reach.
