Homebrew Drowling (Drow/Tiefling) Species Details

Perhaps a drow noble made a deal with a demon for power, only to find their offspring had terrifying qualities.  Perhaps you, a drow, sold your soul as a warlock and awoke a twisted creature.  There is even the simple possibility that one parent was a drow and another a tiefling. Whatever your origins, you are a creature unlike either of your parents or any of your ancestors. 

A Drowlings appearance is almost always absent of color - hues of greys mixed with ashy brown, purple, and blue.  Their hair is white or grey, and massive horns curl back from their foreheads.  Some have more tiefling features, such as a tail or cloven feet, but those are the rarest of Drowlings.  Most are aggressive, driven, and somber.  Although almost all Drowlings have a magical affinity, they are also stocky and built like warriors.  A mix of two stigmatized races, Drowlings are the 'worst of the worst' and often hated and misunderstood more than their counterparts.
