Homebrew Bloodfiend Species Details
A Bloodfiend is a Human mutated by the Will of Immanis. When a Human is transformed into a Bloodfiend, they actively become more aggressive, dangerous, and uncontrollable the more they succumb and accept the monster they are becoming. But to those who resist, and try to inhibit their transformation, they retain half, or even a majority of their humanity left. Some Bloodfiends can blend into society depending on their level of control on their mutation. But the main way to identify one is through their blood. Black blood belongs to those of Immanis, Bloodfiends included. Most Bloodfiends are associated with Immanis, taking power directly from it. However, to those who refuse their nature, they are actively fighting a front against their own mind and spirit to stay human.
