Homebrew Chihuahua Species Details
Chihuahuas are either born in the Lower Planes or have fiendish ancestors who originated there. A Chihuahua (pronounced CHOO-wa-wa) is linked by blood to a devil, a demon, or some other Fiend. This connection to the Lower Planes is the Chihuahua's fiendish legacy, which comes with the promise of power which has grand effects on the Chihuahua’s moral outlook.
A Chihuahua chooses whether to embrace or lament their fiendish legacy. The three legacies are described below.
Abyssal
The entropy of the Abyss, the chaos of Pandemonium, and the despair of Carceri call to Chihuahuas who have the abyssal legacy.
Chthonic
Chihuahuas who have the chthonic legacy feel not only the tug of Carceri but also the greed of Gehenna and the gloom of Hades. Some of these Chihuahuas possess the unearthly beauty of a succubus, while they have the ability to change physical features with another hellish Chihuahua ancestor.
Infernal
The infernal legacy connects Chihuahuas not only to Gehenna but also the Nine Hells and the raging battlefields of Acheron. They mainly trace their ancestry to devils.

Fiendish Legacy
You are the recipient of a legacy that grants you supernatural abilities. Choose a legacy from the Fiendish Legacies table. You gain the level 1 benefit of the chosen legacy.
When you reach character levels 3 and 5, you learn a higher-level spell, as shown on the table. You always have that spell prepared. You can cast it once without a spell slot, and you regain the ability to cast it in that way when you finish a Long Rest. You can also cast the spell using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level. Dexterity, Wisdom, or Constitution is your spellcasting ability for the spells you cast with this trait (choose the ability when you select the legacy).
| Legacy | Level 1 | Level 3 | Level 5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Abyssal | You have Resistance to Poison damage. You also know the Poison Spray cantrip. | Ray of Sickness | Hold Person |
| Chthonic | You have Resistance to Necrotic damage. You also know the Chill Touch cantrip. | Darkness | Ray of Enfeeblement |
| Infernal | You have Resistance to Fire damage. You also know the Fire Bolt cantrip. | Fireball | False Life |
Otherworldly Presence
You know the Thaumaturgy cantrip and Hellish Rebuke as a cantrip. When you cast it either with this trait, the spell uses the same spellcasting ability you use for your Fiendish Legacy Trait.
