Homebrew Cambion. Species Details

Unlike tieflings, who usually possess fiendish traits from an ancient pact their ancestors made, cambions are the direct children of a fiend and a mortal. The fiend can be of any kind, devil or demon, with the mortal humanoid also of any race. These unions are most common between a succubus/incubus and a human. 

Cambions inherit traits from both of their parents, but almost always have some form of horns, bat-like wings and a leathery tail. Their skin tone is most commonly a vibrant, blood red, with their eyes usually an insidious sulfur-yellow. However, their coloration and fiendish aspects can vary wildly — from black, yellow or blue skin, to hooves instead of feet, to extra digits and eyes. They can possess otherworldly beauty or be entirely grotesque.

Those born of devil's are strictly lawful, and serve greater devils in the Nine Hells. The cambions born of demons are extremely chaotic, and battle for a place in the Abyss with nothing more then their own heinous strength. Most cambions, those born of succubi/incubi, fall anywhere in-between in terms of alignment, and may be raised in either fiendish plane. Alternatively, a cambion is raised in the Material Plane by their mortal parent.

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
