Homebrew Abyssal Tiefling Species Details
Abyssal Bloodline
Tieflings descended from Baphomet's bloodline carry markings symbolizing their link to the Horned King. Like him, curled goat's horns sprout from their heads, and their legs end in digitigrade hooves. Their hair is coarse, thick, and wiry, and grows irrepressably, as does their facial hair, if they have any. While their heads and faces remain humanoid, some of Baphomet's spawn sport the telltale horizontal pupil of a goat.
