Homebrew Half-Oni Species Details
"While I was traveling on a pilgrimage to some ruins, I thought I was dead as a beast in the mountains tackled me to the ground pinning me. Then a large demonic figure appeared and threw the werewolf off me, with two monsters fighting to the death a werewolf and what seems to be something resembling an 8ft tall tiefling without a tail pins the beast down and ripping it's jaw in half with it's bare hands... I thought I was going to be next as I was prepared to say my prayers before being devoured by this demon, a smiling warm face looks at me with piercing eyes offering me a hand and helps me up. We sat together and had a drink of some warm alcohol in these snowy mountains chatting, such an imposing demeanor yet a warm aura. I never knew there were half-Oni in the world and that something with such monstrous blood could show such kindness to a wandering traveler."
~Victor Valendalf, Explorer and priest
