Homebrew Firling Species Details
Firlings are the offspring of a teifling and a Firbolg. Firlings tend to look more like teiflings with a light coat of fur over their skin, the fur shows especially where the ears are. However a select few Firlings are known to have cloven feet like a goat or cow. Firlings also tend to have more faerie features like their Firbolg heritage suggests like more bovine or animalistic noses and ears that can be pointed or rounded out like a mouse. Firlings are often regarded as abominations and freaks of nature despite the fact that most Firlings are very intune with nature. Firlings share their infernal and Fae heritage with their respective parents.
