Homebrew Demi-Hellhound Species Details
Demi-hellhounds are a mutant race of infernal ancestry. It's origins aren't clear, but everything points towards a human colony that get trapped in a hellish plane, and their bodies adapted over time with this form. Their bodies are covered with a very thin layer of hair, usually black, with more hair in their limbs. They have paws instead of legs, that provided them with powerful legs. They also have wolf-like ears, that allow them to pick up sound with more clarity that regular humans. They have a natural affinity toward fire, making them resistant to it and allow them to use it in a burning breath.
