Homebrew Cambion Species Details
A cambion inherits features from both of their parents, deriving the basic structure of their physical appearance from their human parent. Their humanoid shape, facial features and hair are often overlooked next to their fiendish traits. A cambion may be nearly indistinguishable from other members of its mortal half, or just as likely they may appear to be entirely demonic. Two cambion siblings might seemingly be of completely different races, their infernal blood manifesting in unique ways.
Their fiendish parent largely contributes to these particular features. Horns may curl and swirl like a ram’s, point sharply upwards towards the sky like a horned devil or resemble a rack of antlers. Their body could be partially scaled or covered in thick, leathery skin, both of which could range from red, purple and green to white, grey and black. Cloven hooves, claws and forked tongues are not uncommon either. Despite all of these terrifying traits, they are considered attractive by many.
